The Greater Philadelphia College Box Lacrosse League (GPCBLL) was established to promote the game of box lacrosse to collegiate athletes in the region and build another pipeline for players to the NLL Draft. In its inaugural 2024 season, the league had 50+ players from programs such as Notre Dame, St. Joe’s, NJIT, Salisbury, and more compete under the guidance and tutelage of NLL greats. The result was an all-star team that claimed victories at the NCBS National Championships, and two GCPBLL players being selected in the 2024 NLL Entry Draft. Thanks to its unique blend of elite coaching & instruction, dedicated practice & development time, and amplification by the Wings professional media staff, this is the spot for players who want to accelerate their execution of box concepts in their college field game, create a legitimate path to the NLL Draft, or both.

Scouting combines will be held in early June, followed by joint practices amongst the teams ahead of a mid-June start to the season. Games will be played 2x/week, rotating across Mon-Thur nights at Steelyard Sports, with the playoffs and championship wrapping up in July. Players selected for the all-star team will practice in early August ahead of the NCBS Championships in mid-August.
