Olympic Style Lacrosse
In October of 2023 the IOC announced that lacrosse will return to the Olympics in 2028 in a new 6-on-6 game format. In "Sixes," all runners carry short-sticks and move as midfielders, navigating the full length of the 70x36 meter field. Experience Sixes Lacrosse at the 2025 Championship Series.
No Shot Backup
In traditional field lacrosse, the ball goes to the player closest to where and when it went out of bounds. In Sixes, missed shots out of bounds always go to the defense, regardless of proximity.
:30-Second Shot Clock
The :30-second shot clock is the fastest in lacrosse – down from a full-field PLL game (:52), NCAA men’s (:80), NCAA women’s (:90), and the international game (no shot clock).
Quick Restarts After Goals
Sixes lacrosse emphasizes tempo by encouraging quick restarts. After a goal is scored, the goalie initiates play. Faceoffs only occur at the beginning of each quarter.
