The purpose of the Badgerland Lacrosse Association (BLA) is to promote the game of lacrosse in a safe and sportsmanlike environment. BLA wants kids to grow up playing a game of speed, position, and finesse, rather than physical intimidation. The goal is to conduct our activities in a manner that will set an example of good sportsmanship and friendly competition for our young players.

Badgerland Lacrosse Association was formerly known as the Madison Area Lacrosse Association. In 2017, with the addition of teams from outside the Madison area, the board of directors voted to change the name to Badgerland Lacrosse to reflect the changing geographic demographics of our organization.
