Lacrosse sixes (also known as World Lacrosse Sixes) is a variant of lacrosse played outdoors with six players on each side.[1] The game follows similar rules to traditional field lacrosse, with modifications and a shorter game time, and is considered to be more fast-paced.[2] Sixes has been described as a hybrid discipline of field and box lacrosse[3][4][5] as well as a different sport entirely.[6][7]
Lacrosse sixes was created in 2021 by World Lacrosse, the global governing body for lacrosse, in a bid to achieve lacrosse's participation in the Olympic Games.[8] It will make its Olympic debut in 2028.[9][10]
