The Greater Eastside Lacrosse League (GELL) is a boy's youth lacrosse league open to all youth lacrosse clubs that feed into Washington State's KingoCo conference high schools. Our member clubs develop youth in the sport of field lacrosse. The league provides spring and fall game schedules for grade-based K-2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 (77, 78, 88) divisions. The spring game schedule, our main season, runs from March through May. The fall game schedule runs from September through November.
A draft of the Spring 2019 GELL Season Calendar was unveiled at the October GELL membership meeting. For reference, we've also included significant dates for WHSBLA, WALOA, WSLA, and USL. This calendar will be updated as plans, dates, times, and locations are finalized. The final version is linked below, dated 2/6/2019.
