My name is Parker Kusko. I am a member of the Class of 2025 at Parkland High School in Allentown, Pennsylvania. I began playing lacrosse at seven years old. I love playing lacrosse because it combines the physicality of football, the toughness of wrestling, the athleticism of basketball, and the hand-eye coordination of baseball. I also believe lacrosse is the ultimate team sport, which has taught me the importance of supporting, encouraging, and celebrating my teammates. I have learned the game from strong fundamental focused coaches as part of successful club programs, including the Rising Sons, Mesa, NXT, and Team 11 Sankey Lacrosse.
