Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
1) What is a “club” sport?
As a “club” sport, the cost of fielding a team is supported entirely by player fees and club fundraisers, not by the Pickerington Local School District. The Pickerington Lacrosse Association
Is a parent board of directors that plans and manages the budget and activities to fund our high school lacrosse teams. Players’ fees pay the coaches’ salaries, referees, transportation costs, trainers, ongoing training for coaches, uniforms and equipment, and field usage/maintenance. Athletes are eligible to receive Pickerington High School “letters” for participating in Lacrosse.

4) Why does my player have to have a US Lacrosse Membership number?

No, lacrosse does not count towards a Physical Education credit. Be sure to talk with your child's counselor to ensure they've got their PE credits.
