The Naperville Bobcats Are Here: Box Lacrosse Roars Into Nap-ROAR-ville

Nap-ROAR-ville, Ill. — There’s a new predator in town. The American Lacrosse League (ALL) is thrilled to announce the official launch of its newest team: the Naperville Bobcats. Building on the momentum of their sister squad, the 2024 National Champion Chicago Portagers, the Bobcats are poised to bring fast-paced, hard-hitting box lacrosse action to the western suburbs.

The Bobcats will call the Naperville Lacrosse Arena (460 Industrial Dr, Naperville, IL 60563) home, with games streamed live on all-lax.com. This expansion marks a major step forward for the league as it continues to grow its footprint across the Midwest.

“We’ve seen how much hunger there is for high-level lacrosse in the Chicagoland area,” said Matt Graham, co-founder of the American Lacrosse League. “The energy behind the Portagers’ championship run was incredible—and we’re ready to bring that same grit, passion, and excitement to Naperville. The Bobcats aren’t just joining the league—they’re here to make noise.”

Tryouts for the Bobcats are open now, and prospective players are encouraged to sign up at:

The Bobcats are ready to claw their way to the top. See you in the Arena.
