Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in Ohio. There are now about 120 schools with teams. If recognized by OHSAA that number would increase dramatically. Girl's Field Hockey has 37 schools with teams, Girl's Gymnastics 98, and Boy's Ice Hockey 82. All are OHSAA sanctioned sports. Why has lacrosse not been sanctioned? It has significantly more individual and schools participating than these sports. Is the OHSLA actively lobbying OHSAA to sanction lacrosse? If so, what is the status? If not, why not? The cost to run a tournament is much less than ice hockey and gymnastics. While the tournament cost may compare to that of field hockey, the popularity of lacrosse likely would make it a revenue generator for OHSAA rather than a drain on OHSAA's budget. The same can not be said for many other sanctioned sports, especially field hockey, gymnastics and ice hockey. If OHSAA has a minimum number of schools that must have teams participating in the sport before it will sanction it how do they justify continuing to sponsor sports that fall below that minimum. Interested in any insights others may have to why OHSAA has not sanctioned this sport.
