Would love to see you break down some youth lacrosse, basic defensive sets, offensive rotations, cuts, etc. that give kids learning the sport some easy stuff to start working on.
I understand that sixes creates a more equal and more action packed playing field, but do you want this to take over tradititonal 10v10 lacrosse? I value college lacrosse due to the strategic and team based approach and feel that sixes relies on a ton of 1v1 matchups and continuous transition that desensitize viewers. this is not basketball
I totally agree with you. If it is really important to speed up the game. Maybe have face-offs only at the beginning of the quarters or halves depending on the style you play.
One thing Canada did well was their fast reaction to USAs shots. They would make a save or let in a goal but immediately the goalies looking upfield for transition opportunities. USA would try to sub and get burnt.
Love the format, but I feel like you could have looked a bit more at how the Canadians play. I mean, there is a reason they won, I think 23-9, because their Box playing style suits Sixes better than the American North South Alley dodge field lacrosse style. I think taking some more input from the Canadians is really helpful.
Love the video and break down, but the folks made this bid for lacrosse should have got real field lacrosse or box lacrosse, this 6s is stupid and makes the game confusing- I mean people still do t know box lacrosse well and now they will think this is the same as HS, college and PLL…
So why sixes? Why not just play box at the Oly's? It's all ready 6v6, no long poles, no offsides, shot clock. 30 countries play in the World Championships. Why invent a whole new game when there is all ready a version of lacrosse that would fit the Olympics. Is this just American bias and USA Lacrosse's hate for box lacrosse. I grew up in Canada and when I was growing up lacrosse meant box lacrosse. Field Lacrosse was the "other" game. Just seems like disrespect from World Lacrosse (Formerly FIL) and the IOC.
Sixes is a mistake. Maybe good for training. That game killed athlesism from fieldlacrosse and body game from box lacrosse. I do not understand why to play this. On olympics will play just countries whi do do have a problem with number of players. If you play lacroose and you do not have planty of players you can play box or kund of mini field 7 plus 1 what is much more closer to field that sixies. Its too artificial product od marketing company which do not understand a spirit of this game
