Join us on Wednesday November 5th at 7pm for the GNLL Boys Annual Meeting.  Each Association is encouraged to have one member join the virtual meeting. Expect more details and an agenda to be sent via email and posted here in the next few weeks.

JOIN THE MEETING

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 asked to host at least one day of games.

The league is concluded with the GNLL Boys Youth State Tournament.
