Lacrosse the Ages

Please join Missy Foote, Kate Perine Livesay ’03, Hugh Marlow ’57, and Erin Quinn ’86 for coed pickup lacrosse at Alumni Stadium. All ages and experience levels are welcome. Depending on how many participate, our goal is to divide up into teams and use the new Sixes format. Sixes is the World Lacrosse format proposed for the 2028 Summer Olympics. Sixes, by design, is different from the traditional 11-on-11 field game. Everything is smaller (except for the size of the goals), including the field (there’s only 50 yards between the nets), rosters (12 players). It’s essentially basketball with sticks! Bring your gear and play the game of the future: the fastest game on two feet!

Email Brandon Doyle ’98 at bdoyle21@gmail.com if you plan on attending or have any questions about the format.

Jim Morone, professor of political science and public policy at Brown, will moderate.
