Lacrosse’s new, fast-paced version may be path into LA Games
Associated PressDENVER — Lacrosse player/coach/board member Dana Dobbie appreciates this new, fast-paced version of her sport called “Sixes.” Not because the 37-year-old helped design the blueprint for the revved-up format that produces an abundance of offense. “We’re going to have a lot of new fans from around the world once they see it for the first time.” Dobbie played a part in fine-tuning this 6-on-6, warp-speed form of lacrosse. “I wish I could jump back in a time machine 10 years, because I grew up playing hoops and this version of lacrosse and the ‘Sixes’ format with a short field is as close to lacrosse meets basketball as I’ve ever seen,” said Paul Rabil, the 36-year-old retired lacrosse great who founded the Premier Lacrosse League with his brother, Mike. “Lacrosse Sixes” — or “Sixes” — was established in 2018 and formally launched in 2020 — a modern take on what’s considered the oldest team sport in North America.
