PLL Co-Founder and All-Star
Paul Rabil has not only made his mark on the game of lacrosse as a player, but also as a leader and entrepreneur. Rabil found success in the MLL as a 2 time league MVP, 2 time champion, and 2015 MVP of the Steinfeld Cup Championship game. However, Paul was one of the few players who was actually making a living playing the game. In order to push for higher wages, stock and benefits for players, Paul co-founded the Premier Lacrosse League with his brother Mike Rabil. Paul and Mike wanted to give more players the opportunity to make the game their full time jobs. The PLL began its inaugural season on June 1, 2019, and Paul was selected to the league’s first All Star Game.
