This year, lacrosse becomes an additional option. It is an official championship sport for the first time in the CIF Southern Section, which encompasses 565 local schools. There were already 119 boys’ lacrosse teams statewide this past spring.Overall, there were 814,004 sports participants at the CIF’s 1,606 schools during the last school year.
Gary Bernardi, who has coached football at eight different colleges in a career spanning more than four decades, lamented the loss in community spirit that has accompanied the fall in football participation at all levels. “When I was 8 years old, I went to see Van Nuys and Monroe [high school] games on Friday nights,” Bernardi said. “You go to games now, how many little Pop Warner kids are attending? I was with the Valley Chargers and there might be 25 kids from different levels at games. You looked forward to it and looked up to the guys and looked forward to playing.”
Bernardi, currently an analyst for the offensive line at San Diego State, said he was also concerned that young people and their families were losing out on an opportunity to receive instruction from coaches who could become lifetime mentors.Bernardi was 12 when he first met Frum in 1967.
