SIXES 2024 REGISTRATION

There has been A LOT of social media postings regarding the upcoming 2024 Sixes Season. I hope everyone is as excited as we are to become involved in this dynamic new format of field lacrosse, designed to enhance the sport’s development and competitive scope across the province.

Introduced by World Lacrosse in 2018, Sixes is a fast-paced, compact version of lacrosse that merges the most thrilling aspects of the game. For more information on the format, please visit ontariosixes.com

Here is what the 2024 Sixes Season will look like for the Redcoats:

  • Season Start Date – September 14th 
  • Age Groups – U9 (2017/2016), U11 (2015/2014), U13 (2012/2013)
  • Players per Team – maximum 12 players (including goalie)
  • 3 Practices – to be held on Saturdays or Sundays (times subject to change)
    • U9: Sun. Sept. 15th 10-11, Sat. Sept. 21st 11-12, Sun. Sept. 29th 4-5
    • U11:  Sat. Sept. 21st 9-10,  Sat. Sept. 28th 9-10  Sat. Oct. 5th 9-10am
    • U13:  Sat Sept. 14th 11-12, Fri. Sept. 27th 6pm, Third Practice TBD
  • 4 Season Games:
    • Games are 8-minute running-time quarters, so ~45-minutes
    • 4 games must be played as “in season” games to qualify to participate in the Championship Tournament
    • Dates/times are still being sorted with other Zone 9 centers as each center is currently also trying to assess interest and registration and number of teams per age level, but these could potentially be organized as a jamboree where all (or most of) the 4 games are organized on one day/weekend
  •  Championship Tournament – October 12-13 (location still TBD by OLA)
  • Registration Cost – only $100/player (as a chunk of the administrative costs for 2024 have been subsidized by the OLA in order to promote the Sixes sector and encourage participation)

As this is a new program Lincoln Redcoats is offering this year, we will only be entering one team per age group. As a result, registration will be on a first come, first served basis for those that were registered for the 2024 box season. Registration will open on September 4th @ 9:00 EST. 

If there are not enough registrations for the Redcoats to field a team in a particular age group, your registration fee will be refunded. 
 
If there are more than 12 registrations for an age group, time stamps for completed registrations in SportzSoft will be utilized to assess which players were registered first. Anyone who registers beyond the maximum of 12 will be refunded their money.
 
We understand the reality of conflicts with hockey and other fall sports, but are hoping that those who sign-up will be able to prioritize making the majority of the practice/season games, and must be able to commit to making the Thanksgiving weekend championship tournament.
