Sixes lacrosse is an innovative and dynamic discipline of lacrosse that showcases fast-paced and high-scoring gameplay. As a variant of the traditional format, it features six players on each team, creating an exciting and intense experience for both players and spectators.
The key distinguishing feature of sixes lacrosse is the reduced number of players on the field, which leads to a more open and fast-paced style of play. The smaller team size allows for increased space and quick transitions, resulting in rapid back-and-forth action and frequent goal-scoring opportunities.
This format has gained popularity globally, with leagues and tournaments encouraging development for players of all ages and skill levels. Sixes lacrosse was featured in The World Games 2022 with men’s and women’s competitions and the discipline is at the center of lacrosse’s Olympic vision.
