PSL Future Stars Box Lacrosse League
“I absolutely loved playing box lacrosse. I’ve admired so much of what it stands for in its concepts, etiquette and tradition. It’s not easy by any means, but it gave me an opportunity to challenge myself in another way. My advice to anyone considering playing box is to look around, be tough and have a ton of fun.” – Casey Powell
6X NCAA Championship Coach Bill Tierney, University of Denver:
“If I had my choice, I would have every player under the age of 12 play box lacrosse exclusively or at least a majority of the time. The number of touches of the ball and the ability to develop better stick skills in a game of box lacrosse far surpasses what happens on a field. Learning how to pass and catch in traffic, understanding how to shoot, and developing a sense of physicality are all positive traits developed by the box game.”
One of the biggest benefits of playing box for a young lacrosse player is in the development of lacrosse IQ. Because everyone plays with a short stick [in box lacrosse], you have to focus on being a complete lacrosse player versus specializing as an attackman or d-man. That is how your IQ grows and skills improve.
— University of Hartford Head Coach Peter Lawrence
John Desko, Head Coach Syracuse University – “Every Kid Should Play Box Lacrosse”
MLL/NLL All-Star Paul Rabil:“Being a part of the finesse and physicality of box lacrosse has been a great experience for me. I feel that I have learned and improved as an overall lacrosse player. Learning to adapt in tight space while reading defenders and offensive players has been the biggest improvement in my game.”

Briefly about NLL, what is this League? – NLL Review (all about Lacrosse) – Blogs
This post was written by Sports.ru user, every fan can start writing (you can do it here).
Dear friends, Hello everyone! Here is a new blog about the National Lacrosse League. What is this League? I’ll tell you about it briefly.
The National Lacrosse League is the men’s professional box lacrosse league in North America. The league is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The NLL has the third-highest average attendance for professional indoor sports worldwide, behind only the NHL and the NBA. Each team in the NLL plays eighteen games during the regular season, nine home and nine away. The teams are divided into two conferences: the eight-team Eastern Conference and the seven-team Western Conference (after the expansion franchise). NLL games are usually played on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. At the end of the regular season, the playoffs are held, where the four best teams from the conferences go out, in which the champion of the National Lacrosse League is already revealed.
In the NLL, the game lasts 60 minutes, four 15-minute quarters with a 2-minute break between quarters and a 16-minute break between halves. If the game in regular time ends in a draw, then the teams play to the first goal (sudden death) in overtime. Each team consists of 19 players: 2 goalkeepers and 17 “runners” (outfield players).
The major Box Lacrosse League began its history in 1987 as the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League (EPBLL). Four teams (“Philadelphia Wings”, “New Jersey Saints”, “Baltimore Thunder” and “Washington Wave”) played a six-game regular season followed by a post-season tournament in which all four teams played elimination matches. The season concluded with the “Baltimore Thunder” (now “Colorado Mammoth”) becoming the first EPBLL Champion at 1987 year. Under Bob Grib, Baltimore defeated Washington Wave 11-10.
In 1988, the League changes its name to Major Indoor Lacrosse League (MILL / Major Indoor Lacrosse League). All the same four teams from the first season entered the fight, but this time they played 8 matches in the regular season. The New Jersey Saints eventually became the champion, beating the same Washington Waves in the final with a score of 17:16 in front of 8,125 fans at the Capital Center.
In total, under the guise of Major Indoor Lacrosse League, the League will spend 10 seasons. At the end of season 1997, a decision will be made to add two more expansion teams, the Syracuse Smash and the Ontario Raiders, and rename the league the National Lacrosse League (NLL). This name of the League is to this day.
In total, since its inception, the League has played 35 seasons, of which the 2020 season was not completed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in 2021 it was not held at all for the same reason. Over the entire history of the tournament, 38 team names have appeared, some eventually completely disappeared, some changed their place of residence, some changed their name and hosts. As a result, 15 franchises will take part in the 2022-2023 season at the moment. You can read about all of them in our VK group, in the subheadings “Introducing Teams”.
And as a note, the list of teams that have become champions:

109 years ago the Giants signed an Olympic hero

Jim Thorpe, “the world’s greatest athlete”, tried his hand at baseball. Material translated from mlb.com.
When we think of the greatest athlete we’ve ever seen, many of us settle on one name: Bo Jackson. But long before Bo was Jim Thorpe.
King Gustav V of Sweden called him “the greatest athlete in the world” after watching him sprint at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, to which Thorpe is said to have replied “Thank you king.”
Gustav V, King of Sweden
Future US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was injured trying to grab Joe Thorpe during a college football game that year, said: “He never trained in his life, but he could have done better than any other footballer I have ever seen. ”
Coach Glenn “Pop” Warner, after whom an entire level of youth football is named, called him “the world’s greatest all-rounder” when he was named to the All-American high school team as a halfback and kicker .
His story was so incredible that Burt Lancaster played him in the 1951 biopic .
Jim Thorpe
In addition to track and field and American football, he seems to have excelled in almost all sports: basketball, hockey, golf, gymnastics, swimming, boxing, lacrosse, bowling and handball, and at 19In 12, he even won a national ballroom dancing competition.
Thorpe’s exploits are mythical in their significance, because they were accomplished even before the advent of television and even radio. While we can watch footage of the incredible Jackson overcoming defensemen as an NFL running back and running up the outfield walls in Major League Baseball as the “Prince of Persia” in the 1980s and 90s. Many who saw both Thorpe and Bo Jackson claimed that the former was just as great, if not better.
Thorpe is inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio – the city where he was not only a player for the Bulldogs of the American Professional Football Association, but also its president in 1920-21, the year before it became National Football League (NFL).
You may have already noticed that one sport has not yet been included in this discussion. How about baseball?
Baseball is no exception. In 1909-10, Thorpe played in the minor leagues for the Rocky Mount Railroaders in the Eastern Carolina League. Little did he know then that this two-year stint in professional baseball would result in him being stripped of his Olympic gold medals.
Jim Thorpe at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden.
After winning gold at the 1912 Olympics, Thorpe’s medals were annulled after it became known that he had inadvertently violated Olympic rules while receiving a reward playing baseball. It was a heartbreaking experience for Thorpe, but it led to a new opportunity: the Major League.
Less than a month after losing his amateur status, on February 1, 1913, Thorpe signed a three-year, $18,000 contract with the New York Giants, who were coached by the legendary John McGraw. To date, the amount of the concluded contract, taking into account inflation, would be about half a million dollars.
I’ve always loved baseball more than any other sport,” Thorpe told The New York Times after signing, “… I’ve dreamed of being a Major League player ever since I left school and now I have there is a chance to fulfill the dream of my life.”
Thorpe had blinding speed on the bases and an excellent throwing hand for an outfielder. But no matter how happy he was to become a professional player, despite all the sporting successes, playing in the Major League turned out to be a very difficult task.
In 1913, in 19 games for the Giants, his batting percentage was .143 AVG with one home run. He spent most of his time in the dugout as a substitute, and more in celebrity status and attention than playing. The next two seasons were the same. 90,003 90,002 In 1917, Thorpe was loaned by the Reds, with whom he played somewhat better: in 77 games, his lineup was .247/.267/.367 with two doubles, eight trips and four home runs.
That fall, after returning to New York, Thorpe technically appeared in Game 5 of the World Series against the White Sox, but despite being in the starting lineup against Chicago starter Eddie Sicott, he was replaced by a pinch. -hitter before Thorpe got a chance to go into batter boxing.
Astoundingly, Thorpe got better and better over time – from 1918 to his last season in Major League Baseball (1919), he hit .294/.329/.408 in 120 games for the Giants and Boston Braves.
Although Thorpe’s MLB career has not been spectacular, it has certainly been memorable. In 1914, Thorp participated in the Giants’ world tour with the White Sox team, during which he traveled to 13 countries and was considered the most famous name in the team, which also included legends Christy Mathewson and Tris Speaker.
