Boys Box Lacrosse

 

Why Phila Box?

 

Box Lacrosse Is in Our DNA.

 

Phila Box isn’t a program that simply added box lacrosse to the lineup. We’ve been building and running box lacrosse for years. That experience matters in a game that requires a completely different approach from field lacrosse.

 

Our connection to box runs even deeper through NXT’s events. We operate the PILC, the longest-running boys box lacrosse event in the nation, giving our organization a unique understanding of the indoor game and what it takes to develop players within it.

 

That history is a big part of what makes Phila Box different. We know box because we’ve been doing box.

 

BOYS TEAMS TRYOUT INFORMATION 

We Train More.

 

Box lacrosse is fast, physical and demanding. With a 30-second shot clock, smaller goals and constant pressure, players get more touches, more decisions and more opportunities to create.

 

But those skills don’t develop by simply showing up for games.

 

Our program is built around training. Players learn the techniques, concepts and habits of the indoor game before being expected to execute them in competition. The goal is to take what they learn inside and make them better, more complete lacrosse players everywhere.

 

Our mantra: We train more.

 

Built to Develop Players

 

Safety and development go hand in hand at Phila Box. Athletic trainers are present at every practice, and players are introduced to equipment and the physical side of the game progressively throughout the season.

 

As players develop, they’ll work toward playing in full equipment and under official box lacrosse rules, with goalie equipment provided by the program.

Real box experience. Real training. A program with a history in the game. That’s Phila Box.
