Winter SIXES LEAGUE

This Winter we bring back the popular and fast growing Sixes style of play, now offering Girls and Boys youth divisions. Our league will model the World Lacrosse and PLL Sixes format as followed: 6 players on the field per team - 1 goalie & 5 players with short sticks only. Each half will begin with a faceoff, goalies clearing on goals. Two 20 minute running halves on a shortened field.

This Winter we bring a new twist to Sixes!

This winter, we are excited to introduce a new initiative: Winter Sixes, designed for students in grades 3 through 8. With a maximum capacity of 48 players per age group, participation will be limited to ensure a focused experience. The league will kick off with a comprehensive training and evaluation session, where each player's performance will be assessed. Based on these evaluations, four competitive teams will be drafted in each age group. This format not only creates a competitive environment but also emphasizes skill development and learning opportunities for all participants.

Each week will feature a 20 minute progression of stick work, small-sided drills, and box lacrosse concepts before splitting into teams and competing. Teams will be coached by 4 Leafs professional staff on a weekly basis.

Players looking to develop skill in a fast paced game each week will compete in a 10 week schedule (1 training session, 8 league games, 1 league playoff). Matchups will change each week playing different teams.
