What is "Sixes"?

From Deemer Class
Founder of First Class Lacrosse

Sixes is an exciting format that is the proposed rule format for inclusion of lacrosse into the 2028 Olympics. We think it is exciting for development and teaches lacrosse players to be "players!" We are excited to launch our first sixes event to bring the FCL community together and have some fun as summer winds down, while getting better!

The Format

The First Class Lacrosse family is organizing a great day of action with the Olympic hopeful Sixes format. 

Date: August 6th (Sunday)

This 1 day format will provide minimum 3 games in pool play before heading into a bracket style playoff. 

Games begin as early as 9 am and end no later than 6pm. 

The Rules

These rules will be following the proposed Olympic Sixes rules. We will educate players and families on these leading into the event. We will have visible shot clocks for the semis and finals! 

:30 second shot clock

Games played in four 8-minute quarters

Goalies initiate play after goals are scored; draws/face-offs occur only at the start of each quarter

70 x 36 meter field

Emphasizes tempo, with fewer stoppages in play

Everyone plays both sides of the field (defense/offense); substitutions made on the fly

Rosters comprised of 10-15 players, leading to more playing time and more touches on the ball

On the women’s side, defensive players are not penalized for entering the shooting lane of an offensive player; offensive players are penalized for taking a shot without regard for other players
