Why Play Lacrosse

Lacrosse is widely considered the “Fastest Sport on Two Feet'' and offers players an excellent opportunity to develop foundational athletic skills that will directly translate to other sports like hockey, soccer, and basketball. With 500+ NCAA and 25+ Canadian University programs available, girls' lacrosse can also provide young women with a path to continue their development into post-secondary education and beyond.

Sixes Lacrosse in the OLYMPICS!

In 2023 the IOC approved Sixes Lacrosse as an official Olympic sport for the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics! This news is an incredible step for lacrosse on the global stage and will go a long way for the long term growth of the sport. While many countries play lacrosse worldwide, not many play lacrosse at the grassroots level that we are so lucky to have here in North America. The Sixes lacrosse format is a very approachable way to introduce the sport to new players worldwide, and with fewer rules to learn, the casual viewer will have a much easier time digesting the sport on TV.

frequently asked questions

    • Develops offensive creativity, vision, and play-making skills

    • Builds strength, endurance, and hand-eye coordination

    • Teaches proper body contact, body positioning, and ball protection skills

    • Reinforces the importance of speed, quickness, and agility

    • Play both offensive and defensive positions and learn to transition quicker

  • Each session typically includes 40 minutes of skill development and 30 minutes of small-area games, depending on the week. During the skill development portion, players will rotate through various activities, alternating between "teaching" stations and "mini-game" stations. We believe that this balance between technical instruction and gameplay will help participants learn the fundamental skills of lacrosse and also foster a love for the sport. During the small-area games portion players will be split into teams and play an age-appropriate version of lacrosse in a 3v3 or 4v4 format to encourage all players to get involved and maximize touches.
