The Philadelphia Area Girls' Lacrosse Association, PAGLA, was created in 1996 as an umbrella organization with the purpose of facilitating the scheduling of games, sharing of information, regulating rules and practices and supporting new programs.

PAGLA members are township recreation programs and stand alone lacrosse clubs. PAGLA does not record scores of games, maintain standings or crown a champion. The PAGLA philosophy makes primary the learning and practicing of foundation skills, and attack and defense strategies in fun, appropriately challenging, inclusive environments.

In 2005 PAGLA has 36 member programs with teams in 3 divisions: third and fourth grade, fifth and sixth grade and seven and eighth grade. Most programs have a mix of in-house teams and travel teams.

PAGLA, on behalf of the local chapter of US Lacrosse, the Philadelphia Lacrosse Association (PLA), supervises the tryouts for a U13 and a U15 team which represent PLA at the National Youth Festivals.
