The Spanish Lacrosse Association (in Spanish: Asociación Española de Lacrosse) is the official governing body of lacrosse in Spain and is a member of the Federation of International Lacrosse and the European Lacrosse Federation. It was founded to develop and promote lacrosse within Spain.
The Liga Española de Lacrosse is the main lacrosse competition in Spain. Until 2013, it was usual that teams without enough players played combined. Since 2014, a new league format was approved dividing teams into LEL and LEL2, joining the LEL only the teams that have at least ten players.
