West Chester Lacrosse Association
West Chester, Pennsylvania
2025 Boys Spring League
The WCLA Boys Spring League belongs to SEPYLA (www.sepyla.com) as an associate member in the South Division for the 5th/6th and 7th/8th age groups and will adhere to SEPYLA's guidelines. All registered players for our Boys Spring Leauge will be placed on a spring lacrosse team. For the 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th grade age groups (with the exception of one or two 3/4 teams who will play in the SEPYLA South Division), teams are run "in-house". The WCLA Boys Spring League teams are staffed with paid former high school and collegiate players/coaches and experienced parent volunteers. The coaching staff and West Chester Lacrosse Association directors will make team assignments for each division. Players cannot "play up"; they must play in the grade they are in school.
