2009 Parents weekend, was a huge success, THANKS TO ALL THE PARENTS who could make it down. Hopefully you were able to make some new friends. I know many were impressed with the "lax house" and the coaches enjoyed getting to know you. Hopefully we'll see you at future games and thanks again for organizing the Team PGPL's!
Support a Winner!
Your donations are greatly appreciated and directly support the current year's budget. Items such as league membership dues, bus travel, player equipment, coaches stipends, game uniforms, and game officials' cost are all directly reduced through your kind donations. Our goal is to help reduce the burden on the individual player who currently must raise $2,200 each year to play on the team. Please consider making a donation today!
The new season has launched a new program led by our Parents; Post Game Pot Lucks (PGPL's). Following each home/away game the parents, family members, and Alumni are hosting a quick snack for the team. This is a great way for you to support the team and get some socializing in. If you plan to participate please contact one of our coordinators to add your name and food item to the list. New Beginnings - New Traditions!
