HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The IHSAA Executive Committee announced the addition of girls lacrosse to the Emerging Sport Process to help pave a way for the sport to continue growth, and possibly become a recognized sport and sponsorship of an official state tournament.

Girls lacrosse is the third to earn the designation following boys volleyball and girls wrestling, which were approved for full sponsorship last April. IHSAA will provide rule books, conduct coaches rules meetings and provide coverage in the IHSAA’s Catastrophic Medical program.

For a sport to become officially recognized and an IHSAA state tournament to be sponsored, 100 schools must be participating in the sport. According to data submitted from the coaches association, in 2023, there were 39 schools around the state with a school-sponsored varsity or club program.
