What would it take to bring a new varsity sport like lacrosse to northeast Colorado? Apparently, a lot of work.
STERLING — There comes a time, unfortunately, when high schools may have to drop varsity sporting programs because of a lack of funds or simply when the school doesn’t have enough athletes to participate in a certain event.
Fleming was a victim of this, with its track program being dropped because only four girls came out for the team. Recently, Sterling High School added a girl’s golf team after an extensive absence from the scene.
But what if a school wants to start up a brand new program, what does it take to get there? What if Sterling High School wanted to get crazy and start up a lacrosse team? What is the procedure to kick start it off the ground?
