COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – World Lacrosse is today introducing the name, brand identity and first phase of technical resources for the new 6 v 6 discipline that has been developed through a comprehensive consultation, trial and refinement process involving players, coaches, officials and leaders of lacrosse around the world. The new discipline of lacrosse will be formally known as World Lacrosse Sixes. On a more conversational or familiar basis, the new discipline will be referred to as Sixes.

The name has changed. The logo has changed. But the mission to provide national leadership, structure and resources to fuel the sport’s growth and enrich the experience of participants remains the same.

SPARKS, Md. — US Lacrosse is proud to partner with One Bowl Productions, the Iroquois Nationals, Thompson Brothers Lacrosse, and 4 the Future Foundation on a free streaming experience of the award-winning documentary “Spirit Game: Pride of a Nation.”

SAN ANTONIO — When the U.S. men’s national team arrived in San Antonio on Friday, the 36 players checked into the Marriott Plaza on Alamo Street, took in some sights, ate a light meal together and then promptly made their way to the University of the Incarnate Word.

For 90 minutes, they flew up and down the field in a high-speed practice, stopping only to interpret the guttural commands of the coaches trying to jam as much information into their ears as possible in a short period of time. For a decorated group of professionals, they sure seemed nervous.

SAN ANTONIO — When Shogo Oshima started playing lacrosse as a goalie at the University of Tokyo, he would watch videos of American shooters like Will Manny and envision making saves against them.

In Japan, Oshima explained, the U.S. national team consists of players to be emulated, but not necessarily defeated. He would like to help change that perception.

SPARKS, Md. — U.S. head coach John Danowski will welcome 37 of the nation’s top men’s lacrosse players to Texas for the 2020 Spring Premiere.
