The Great Northern Lacrosse League's (GNLL) Girl's Youth Spring Field Season (April - June) provides a fun, safe, and supportive environment where youth associations and their teams compete, learn, and grow. 

Participating teams schedule 6 to 16 games throughout seven playable weekends. Game schedules are created at an annual meeting in late February or early March. Each team is asked to host at least one day of games.

The league is concluded with the GNLL Girls Spring State Tournament.

The league provides the following for all games:  
    •    Certified Officials
    •    Online team statistics, standings, schedules, and updates 

The GNLL Girls Spring Field League is preceded by our Pre-Season Sixes League (Feb-April) and followed by our Summer Field League (June-July) and Fall Field League (September - October).
