SMALLER-SIZE FIELD
30-SECOND SHOT CLOCK
SMALL TEAMS. BIG GAMES.
Easy-to-form teams play 6 against 6 in a series of 24-minute games that guarantee fast, exciting action, sportsmanship, and fun that anyone can play. With less space needed, three fields fit nicely on one regulation-size field, optimizing the cost of play.
THE GAME
- Highly social. Anyone can play! Multiple divisions for boys, girls, youth, high school and adult
- Easy to form teams of 9 to 12 players, leads to more playing time and touches on the ball
- 6 field players aside. Everyone plays both sides of the field (defense/offense)
- Hybrid of traditional field and box lacrosse
- Smaller unified field size enhances stick development and spatial awareness
- Exciting to watch; spectators love it!
- 30 Second Shot Clock
- “Up and down” quick pace provides incredible exercise and cardio workout for players in short amount of time
- Promotes the growth of the sport by eliminating barriers to entry (e.g., cost, team size, field size)
- Building-block strategy enhances player IQ for the full-field game
- Repetition of shooting develops better accuracy for offense players while honing goalie skill sets and outlets
- Goalies initiate play after goals are scored; draws and face-offs occur at the start of each period
- NO long poles promotes learning body and footwork positioning for defense
