Paul Rabil (born December 14, 1985) is an American sports executive and retired professional lacrosse player.

[4] At Watkins Mill High School, Rabil secured a spot as a starting player on the varsity team during his freshman year.

[4] During Rabil's three-year tenure at Dematha, he led the team to three Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) championships and a record of 49-16.

[6] Rabil was also awarded for his efforts as he was named 2-time All-American, 2-time All-State selection, and the #4 ranked prospect in the high school class of 2004.

[9] This effort earned Rabil Third Team All-American honors and aided in securing Johns Hopkins the national championship.

[10] Rabil earned First Team All-American Honors for the third consecutive season, but missed out on another title as Johns Hopkins lost to Syracuse in the 2008 National Championship game.

[11] Ultimately, Paul graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 2008 majoring in political science and minoring in entrepreneurship and management.

[15] In 2015, Rabil was traded to the New York Lizards in a package deal that included Cannon's midfielder Mike Stone for Max Seibal and MLL Collegiate Draft Picks.

[19] Scoring 16 goals and 18 assists for a total of 34 points, Paul was named to the 2009 All-Rookie Team in his initial season.

[20] However, Rabil wished to move closer to his home in Maryland, therefore, did not report to Edmonton and sat out the rest of the 2012 NLL Season.

[20] In 2013, Rabil played his last and final season in the NLL with the Philadelphia Wings scoring 17 goals and having 21 assists for a total of 38 points.

[21] The Rabil brothers created the league with the hopes of pushing for higher wages and benefits for lacrosse players.

At that time, Paul was among the handful of players who could earn a decent income through lacrosse, thanks to his social media following and several endorsement deals.

[22] Nonetheless, the Rabil brothers aspired to empower lacrosse players to turn the game into a viable profession and pursue it as a full-time career.

As well as being the founder of the league, Paul Rabil began his playing career in the PLL with Atlas Lacrosse Club.

[25] Rabil Ventures focuses on providing capital, advisory, and active operating expertise to the companies in which they invest.

[28] These goals are achieved through three primary strategies: creating exceptional lacrosse experiences for young players that prioritize player development, competition, and thought leadership; reducing barriers to entry, particularly in terms of socioeconomic status and skill level; and producing high-quality content that showcases the organization's story and the individuals who have dedicated themselves to the sport.

[32] The Paul Rabil Foundation creates various sports and academic programs to aid children with learning differences to overcome their difficulties inside the classroom.

[30] Working alongside the PLL's mission to continue to grow the game of lacrosse, Rabil noticed that many neighborhood and public parks typically include basketball courts, baseball fields, and soccer goals.
