Box lacrosse improves a player’s decision-making speed, stick skills, situational awareness, and off-ball movement. These specific skills are why Canadian players—the creators and masters of box lacrosse—have been so successful at the collegiate level. Phila Box develops these skills through a box-specific curriculum taught by coaches with box experience and playing in highly competitive winter box tournaments with our Phila A's box teams.
Box Lacrosse teaches players how to execute plays in a physical, fast paced environment. Players must play both sides of the ball, broadening skill sets, lax IQ and overall toughness.
Phila Box is committed to continuing our promise of developing lacrosse players and believes playing box is one of the most beneficial ways to improve a player's game. The Phila A's field teams at eight different age groups (HS Varsity, HS JV, HS Freshman, 8th, 7th, 6th, 5th, & 3/4th) with elite coaches, curriculum, and events that will directly impact each participant's overall lacrosse IQ.
