About Park City Lacrosse
The Organization
In 1995 Park City Lacrosse began fielding teams for high school boys and girls. In 2000, the non-profit Park City Lacrosse Organization (PCLO) was incorporated. The following year, PCLO was awarded the Park City Municipal Corporation Youth Advisory Council Grant for development of the boys’ team and the annual Christmas Tree Pick-up fundraiser began. www.parkcitylax.org went online. PCLO became a 501 c 3 organization in 2002. Again in 2003, PCLO was awarded the Park City Municipal Corporation Youth Advisory Council Grant, for the girls high school lacrosse program. PCLO began funding high school girls’ lacrosse in 2003. In 2007, PCLO took over the youth league from Basin Recreation Organization and a youth board was formed. In the 2008 youth, 1st - 8th grade spring season, over 250 girls & boys played in the ULA youth lacrosse league. The high school girls & boys teams fielded over 85 players in the 2008 spring season. In 2008 PCLO hosted for the first time the Utah State High School Lacrosse Championships and All Star games at PCHS Dozier Field.
The PCLO is governed by a 16 person board composed of two committees, one that runs the high school boys organization and another that runs the high school girls organization. Our Youth Organization reports to the PCLO President and PCLO Board and operates with it’s own members.
