CHARLESTON (AP) — High school football teams always look forward to summer camp, when they renew acquaintances with players and coaches and build momentum for the next season. Except at Van and Tug Valley high schools, whose seasons might have to wait.

Administrators at Van will determine on June 22 whether to cancel the season because not enough players are available to field a team, athletic director Eddie Hendricks said Wednesday.

The problem isn’t a lack of interest. The 120-student school in Boone County lost several players due to academics and graduation and might not have a big enough pool of students to fill the void, Hendricks said. And the junior high did not field a team last year.

He said that in one particular grade, ‘‘there’s not one kid that plays.’’

If the team folds, Hendricks said it would be for only one season. But it would be a tough decision.

‘‘It doesn’t look good,’’ he said.

Van has a rich football history. The Bulldogs appeared in the state playoffs 10 times over the past three decades, but not since 2003. Van is one of the smallest schools in West Virginia’s smallest division, Class A. But other schools that are smaller don’t have problems fielding teams.

Parkersburg Catholic, enrollment 95, has made the football playoffs in three of the past four seasons. Williamson, enrollment 109, has seen an increase in the number of players in each of coach Doug Ward’s four seasons and expects as many as 30 players this fall.

‘‘I think you do a lot of in-school recruiting,’’ Ward said Wednesday. ‘‘You try to encourage kids to give it a chance if they haven’t played middle school (football). We’ve been fortunate.’’

Van isn’t the only team in trouble. Tug Valley coach Mike Smith resigned in the past month to accept a job in Kentucky. No one applied for Smith’s old job, so the school is reposting the opening, said Tug Valley Principal Dave Clagg.

Without a coach, the 2009 season is in jeopardy.

‘‘I’ve got contacts signed to play games and no coach,’’ Clagg said Wednesday. ‘‘Yeah, it’s in danger. I don’t know what I’m going to do if I don’t get a coach.’’ Tug Valley is a tough place to sell. Numerous coaches have come and gone over the past two decades and there have been complaints about the lack of improvements to the football facilities. Mingo County’s school system, including decisions on its finances, has been under state control since 2005.
