It’s time to have a conversation about “co-ops” in #IHSA sports. Actually, it’s time to have some honest conversations - especially in girls lacrosse. Stick with me here for a second…11,723 (5 years), 8,792 (4 years), 7,503 (19 years), 5,403 (14 years), 4,550 (8 years), 5,536 (6 years), 6,353 (8 years) and 6,610 (10 years). The first number is the combined enrollment number of the co-op. The second number is the number of total years these programs have combined schools to have a co-op team. #DYK: The combined average enrollment number of the 16 co-ops in girls lacrosse - made up of 46 schools - is 5,619 eligible students. Co-ops teams - on average - are more than TWICE the size of the average school competing in girls lacrosse. We’re going to get into this a little more in the coming days, because to be fair you have to truly look at the full scope of why schools have to co-op to start with. The goal is provide opportunities for kids and grow the sport. But have some adults lost focus on those goals vs building dominate programs?
