Survey shows mixed support for junior-high sports co-op; transportation and playing-time concerns dominate
Summary
A presentation of survey results on a proposed junior-high sports co-op showed positive interest in team chemistry and skill development but flagged parent concerns about transportation, playing time and mixing younger with older students.
A presenter (S1) reviewed a survey conducted with students and parents about potential expansion of a junior-high sports co-op. The presenter opened the session by saying, "I'll be sharing the results of the recent survey focused on potential expansion of our junior high sports co op." Slides summarized responses across grade levels, noting about 80 student responses and 72 parent responses in the packet and breaking down sport-by-sport roster projections.
Board members and parents raised recurring concerns: transportation constraints (parents said many would not be willing to pick up students at distant practice sites), playing time and social adjustment for younger students paired with older ones, and coach recruitment. One parent suggested better communications and orientation so students know their options and potential timelines for tryouts.
