Yup, missed that one. I certainly appreciate the growth of the sport. Still not sure how much of the pie that takes.
According to MPRD registration in 2011 (courtesy of rec dept minutes) was up 134 for LX
Quote:
Mr. Ayoub said there was an overall increase in youth athletics based on this time last year. There was a significant increase in Lacrosse from 313 last year to 447 in one year; this is an up and coming sport.
Still there was also an increase at MPRD with soccer.
And I'm not sure how many of these 134 would of plaid club soccer anyway.
Regardless your are correct more sports, more options, all good (discounting space issues).
This merely backs up the message that we need to try harder to get new players, and work tirelessly to accomodate as many as we can.
