The Prairie Gold Lacrosse League was established in 2001 to provide players with an opportunity to advance their skills after the minor level. The PGLL provides individuals with the opportunity advance their skills and many have gone on to play at a collegiate or pro-level. The PGLL not only develops players but it also gives officials and coaches an opportunity at a high caliber level to advance their knowledge and skills. This provides strong dividends to the Saskatchewan Lacrosse Association as many members in the senior division contribute back to Lacrosse as volunteers, coaches or officials. The PGLL is currently in a revitalization stage. New Board of Directors, website, logo and clothing merchandise has been established and a strategic plan will be developed in February of 2015 to provide consistency and steady growth for years to come.
