Because of the small number of college's that sponsor emerging sports for women there are limited opportunities available but this is changing rapidly.

It should be noted that colleges are using emerging sports for women as a means to address the gender imbalance in intercollegiate sport and as a means of complying with the provisions of TITLE IX.
