We are once again fielding 2 teams this winter, and the first week of play is fast approaching! We have added an Indoor Page this year which contains all the information you will need.
Due to the rapid growth of our program and our efforts to ensure the safety of our student-athletes, we have chosen 2010 to introduce our helmet program at the boys Middle School and high school levels.
We have negotiated with a number of local vendors in our efforts to receive a deep discounted rate to purchase helmets for our program at all levels. There are many different manufacturers and models to choose from, and we have identified 2 helmets that offer the best protection as well as meet a favorable price point. As this is our first year ordering helmets as a team, we will offer 2 exceptions, Seniors will not be required to order a new helmet, and Freshmen may order the Pro7 this year.
**Note** One of the main reasons we have mandated the purchase of new helmets is that helmets are certified for 3 years only and the incidences of concussions in high school lacrosse have risen abruptly in recent years as the game and athletes have accelerated in speed and ability. The GLHS team had 4 concussions in 2009.
Below are the models and colors we have chosen:
Fall Orders placed between October 15th and November 14th
High School (grades 10-12) - Cascade Pro7 - (White w/black mask) - $123.00
Middle School (grades 7-9) - Cascade CPV - (White w/black mask) - $85.00
The opportunity to take adventage of these savings is in the fall while we are able to utilize the downtime at the manufacturer (their peak begins December - March) and save each individual family from paying retail. The Pro7 retails for around $225.00 and the CPV is around $140.00.
We will begin taking orders on October 15th and will place our first order on November 15th. We will also place another order in January at registration but the pricing will not be as attractive.
Spring Orders placed between January 15th and January 31st
High School (grades 10-12) - Cascade Pro7 - (White w/black mask) - $152.00
Middle School (grades 7-9) - Cascade CPV - (White w/black mask) - $100.00
Order Form - Complete and turned in to the athletic office ATTN: Lacrosse Coach Dillon no later than November 14th.

"If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat." - Herschel Walker

- Co-ed pee-wee league (1st-3rd grade) - Spring 2010
- Expansion of boys Middle School program to 3 teams assigned to each school - Spring 2010
See Event Schedule for events and offerings...
When: Saturday, July 18th
Where: GLHS Stadium
Who: Every Player who has worn the Blue and Gold!
Why: It's time to showcase how far our program has developed by honoring those who came before us... And also to have a lot of fun!!!
What to Bring: All of your equipment and any extra stuff you have, lots of water, your "A" game!!
See you there!
Attn: All High School players
The following pieces of equipment are required to be laundered and turned in on Tuesday, June 2nd between 6:00 - 7:00 PM:
These garments are property of the school and will need to be returned in the condition they were issued. please be sure to return all garments as failure to return any garment will result in assessment for the full replacement value of each piece (at a significantly higher cost as these were purchased as a large, bulk order).
We will need approximately 12 volunteers to assist with collecting, counting, folding, and boxing up returned garments. This has been done by the Fuss family in the past but has grown into a very difficult task for just a couple of people (Not to mention they also take care of the middle school and youth as well).
I have posted a sign-up below for volunteers, and with a lot of willing people, we can have this done in an hour or so...
BUILDING FUTURE LACROSSE STARS FOR TOMORROW Our philosophy is to develop the whole player with individual skill sessions, clinics and quality coaching. Our mission is to serve the instructional needs of lacrosse teams & players of central Ohio. Our Summer League has two purposes: What separates our summer league from others is that we stress the importance of learning the game and increasing the players LAX IQ. Each week in addition to playing a game there will be a player’s clinic from local College Coaches, College Players or MLL Players that focus increasing individual skill and team play. SUMMER LEAGUE DETAILS: We have an opportunity to register our entire program and treat this as our summer team camp, please respond to the SURVEY today so that we can get with the league ASAP!
We have developed a survey for each player/family to fill out to help guide our program offerings through 2010 and beyond. Please take the time to fill out this survey as completely as possible in order to allow Gahanna Lacrosse to enrich the experience of each player.
The OCC and All Region Awards have been published, congratulations to our award winners!!

You do not need the card to have your donation applied, but they are a good reminder.
