NESLL Spring

The spring lacrosse season is the core product of the New England Select Lacrosse League. Two divisions - NESLL-Black for the top, select level players; and NESLL-Blue for the top tier two level players. The spring leagues will feature Boys U13, Boys U15 and Girls U15 divisions. Regional teams will be formed in Eastern Massachusetts, Southern NH and Rhode Island.

Selection Process

Teams are selected through a series of Fall regional tryouts, where each prospective candidate needs to attend one of the sessions. NESLL will utilize a pool of judges comprised of coaches and players from the professional, college and high school ranks, supplemented with knowledgeable lacrosse parents. The players will be judged on series of skills and game situation drills. Based on the judges scoring, the organizers will form team rosters at the Boys U13, Boys U15 and Girls U15 levels.

NESLL Game Schedule

The NESLL teams will play an 8 game regular season schedule beginning March 29th. A Playoff Jamboree will be played on the weekend following Memorial Day - each team will play 2 games (semi-finals & finals).

All Boy's games will be played with four 15 minute periods and Girls with two 25 minute halves. Top quality prep school, high school, municipal and college/university fields are used for all games.
