CBLL 2009-10
Get ready for the best winter lacrosse option in the DC Metro area!

This is not indoor lacrosse...this is BOX LACROSSE!  5v5 plus a goalie.  It is 170' x 73', a full indoor lacrosse arena with boards. Shortsticks only. Everyone plays offense and defense. This is the best form of indoor lacrosse if you want to get better for the spring season. See what the hype is all about.  Join today!  

This league starts Sunday, December 6, 2009. Register before it fills up as we have limited field/floor space.  Each team has 18-22 players per team.  8 Regular Season Games for all divisions. High School Elite Division has Final 4, Championship and All-Star Game! Every attempt will be made to place players from the same high schools and youth leagues on the same team. Individual players can register to play and will be fit into and combined on teams needing players.  9th graders can only play up in the HS Elite Division if your head varsity or club coach emails permission to info@madlax.com.  Cleats are the best footwear for this surface and running shoes do NOT provide sufficient ankle support.

What is Box Lacrosse?
Box Lacrosse was created by Canadians and is the national sport of Canada. The CBLL was started to offer boys lacrosse players in the DC metro area a better option to improve during the offseason.  We feel it is another excellent opportunity for players to play more lacrosse and develop skills faster while having a LOT of fun.  The game of box lacrosse is growing rapidly across North America.  NCAA All-Americans from Canada like John Grant Jr., Gary Gait and Brodie Merril have shown why Box lacrosse is key for skill development as they are arguably some of the best outdoor players of all time. They grew up ONLY playing Box Lacrosse, not indoor lacrosse. The NLL pro league is actually pulling in 15,000 fans a night across america during their season.  The box game is extremely fun to play...as much as outdoor.  

We feel that our new CBLL facility in Sterling at the Dulles SportsPLex which is an official 186' x 80' arena with top of the line field turf surface speaks for itself. It is safer and a friendlier environmet than the box in Chantilly. Everyone can play offense and defense with a shortstick so Box Lacrosse forces the use of proper footwork and angles to defend the cage. This applies to attackman, midfielders and defensemen.  Box forces all players to use offensive fundamentals of the game in a confined area; Picks, Screens, Fakes, Stick Protection, Creativity, Passing and Catching in traffic, shooting on the move and finishing on a smaller goal.  All of these skills practiced makes you a BETTER outdoor player.
