West Chester Lacrosse Association
West Chester, Pennsylvania
2025 Girls Spring Lacrosse League
The WCLA Girls Spring League is a competitive recreation program. As a member of the Philadelphia Area Girls Lacrosse Association (“PAGLA”), WCLA adheres to its guidelines. The Girls Spring League is led by WCLA Girls Director, Amanda Gionfriddo, and is enhanced by a staff of paid former high school and collegiate players/coaches, and experienced parent volunteers. The coaching staff and West Chester Lacrosse Association directors make team assignments for each division. Players cannot "play up"; they must play in the grade they are currently in school.

Scroll down for more information on each division, registration links for each division, and further information regarding A and B teams at our 5th/6th and 7th/8th grade level . Please note: times and dates are tentative and subject to change. If you are registering more than one player, be sure you are registering each player in the CORRECT grade division. TeamSnap will offer to "register another player" at the end of registration, but this option should only be used if your additional players are in the same grade division as the first registered player.
