Greetings PBLBC families. I'm forwarding this information on behalf of the PHS Post Prom Party Committee who asked for assistance in getting the message out through the various PHS booster clubs.

Greetings Parkland Boys Lacrosse Families. Apologies in advance for the length of this email.
Prior to the official start to the 2024 season, Coach Arezzi and the PBLBC booster club will distribute uniforms, which includes the Parkland provided helmet. Per Parkland's policy, all Parkland issued helmets are to be used during the spring season and then returned at the conclusion of the season to avoid issues with recertification and liability.
That being said, a number of families have expressed interest in purchasing a Parkland helmet so their son can use it over the summer/fall with their club teams and for attending various player showcases. I'm happy to report we've negotiated an incredible deal with Cascade Lacrosse whereby you can now purchase a Parkland helmet for $245 versus their typical retail price of $360. This is a huge savings off of MSRP and we are guaranteed pricing regardless of the number of helmets we order. Here are the helmet details:
-
Helmet - Cascade XRS Pro
-
Shell - White
-
Chin & Washer - Red-187C
-
Jawbone - Grey-424C
-
Mask - Pearl White
-
Chin Strap - Red-187C
You can purchase the helmet through our Parkland store over the next two weeks. Effective February 1st, the store will close. Once the store closes, we should receive helmets a few weeks following. Similar to the fall apparel order, they will be shipped to me and we will distribute at an upcoming practice.
Please access the store to place your order here:
https://shop.allusportswear.com/collections/parkland-lacrosse
Please note, you will need to order the Parkland helmet stickers separately. You can purchase them through Laxdecalz here:

Greetings Parkland Boys Lacrosse Families. Our Fall apparel store is now open for orders through Tuesday, October 31st. Please note, this is a hard store close date by the vendor.
The store can be accessed through the following link: https://shop.allusportswear.com/collections/parkland-hs-boys-lacrosse
Expected delivery for all items, with the exception of our custom gloves, is four (4) weeks. We expect delivery for the gloves in late February / early March based on lead times with the supplier. Please note that gloves and several other items have a minimum order quantity of 12, so if that number is not met, the vendor will remove that item from any orders.
For delivery of the apparel, the Booster Club plans to pick up orders from the vendor and schedule a pickup date for families in the Parkland community (likely at the lacrosse stadium). This date and time will be established / communicated closer to delivery.
Please feel free to share the above link with anyone who may have an interest in Parkland lacrosse apparel/gear.
Should you have any questions, please let me know.

Greetings PBLBC Families,
Planning for the Parkland Boys Lacrosse golf tournament on September 30th at Twin Lakes is in full swing (no pun intended!). There are numerous ways for you and your family and friends to get involved and help make this year’s event a great success. Please consider signing up and sharing the following information with your friends and family. Thank you in advance!!
Basket Donations
The basket raffle will be a big part of the day's festivities. There are numerous opportunities for individuals or groups of families to choose from a basket theme or to create their own basket theme. Please sign up to donate a basket HERE.
Golf Foursomes
We are still in need of golf foursomes for the tournament. Our target is 36 foursomes (144 golfers), and we still have a way to go. Members of the Parkland lacrosse program are highly encouraged to register and play. Please register your foursome HERE.
Lunch Only
If you are not a golfer, please consider registering for the lunch only portion of the tournament. This will give you an opportunity to enjoy time with other lacrosse families and friends while participating in raffles, auctions, etc. in support of the program. Lunch is expected to begin around 1:00 pm. Please register for the lunch only option HERE.
Sponsorships
There are various sponsorship levels and opportunities for families or businesses to choose from. If you or a business are interested in sponsoring, please register HERE. Please note, you can also provide potential business sponsors with a copy of our flyer (attached).
Volunteers
It takes a village to make an event like this a success. I will provide more detail on specific volunteer opportunities in the coming weeks. That said, if you would like to get involved as a volunteer or to help in organizing the tournament, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Thank you in advance for all your help and support of our upcoming golf tournament fundraiser. Let’s make this year’s event a HUGE success for the benefit of our boys and the Parkland Boys Lacrosse program.
Go Trojans!

On behalf of the Parkland Boys Lacrosse Booster Club (PBLBC) and its officers, I would like to welcome you to our web site. I would like to welcome back the Class of 2024, 2025, and 2026 parents to the PBLBC and welcome parents of the incoming Class of 2027. I will be serving as President this year, with Dan Tapia serving as Vice-President, Andy Fehnel serving as Secretary, and Jen Afif serving as Treasurer.
The purpose of the booster club is to support, encourage, and advance the boys lacrosse program at Parkland and to promote projects and initiatives which improve facilities and equipment necessary for the enhancement of the Parkland lacrosse program. We are excited and look forward to working with Coach Arezzi and his coaching staff this season in support of this purpose.
We highly encourage all families to get involved and participate in meetings and club events throughout the year in support of the program. Thank you in advance for your support and engagement!
Regards,
Kevin Kelley
Booster Club President
