The Great Northern Lacrosse League's (GNLL) Boy'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 required to host at least one day of games.
