MISSION STATMENT:
To provide a top tier league that allows our member franchises to dictate what happens both on and off the floor, making it sustainable to participate year after year with continued success and growth, while providing our participants opportunities to advance to the next level.
The Box Lacrosse League is dedicated to building a national lacrosse community that promotes understanding, appreciation, and inclusivity for all. We believe that diverse representation and involvement, made possible through accessibility and openness to everyone, greatly enhance the lacrosse experience for each individual.
The Box Lacrosse League (BLL) is a men’s senior league operating in the United States. The league started in 2020 and for the first 3-years was known as the Great Plains Box Lacrosse League (GPBLL). With continued success and geographical expansion the league has evolved into what we now know as the BLL. The BLL allows our teams to dictate both how and what happens both on and off the rink. The BLL has an established and proven road map that provides assistance to our teams making it sustainable to play year after year with continued success and growth. Our BLL governing board consisting of elected conference representatives, the BLL ownership group, and the chief referee all represent the league and make decisions based off a majority vote. The BLL consists of senior level A & B franchised teams broken out into geographic conferences (North, South, Central, East, West, etc.) that are comprised of local regions such as the Great Lakes, Great Plains, and Mountain West regions. The BLL follows current NLL gameplay rules. The season runs from June 1st through September.
