We’re excited to announce that this summer, Brigade Lacrosse is transitioning to outdoor 6s lacrosse—a fast-paced, Olympic-style version of the game that’s gaining momentum across all levels of the sport.

Why the Change?

Our move to the 6s format is a strategic one, driven by several key factors:

• Olympic Alignment: 6s will be the official format for lacrosse in the upcoming Summer Olympics.
• Professional Influence: The Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) has embraced 6s in its Championship Series, further validating its future.
• Regional Growth: The DMVI Summer 6s League is gaining traction in Northern Virginia, giving our players the chance to scrimmage and compete with other NOVA teams.

Program Details:

• Cost: $60 (Includes Summer Themed Jersey)
• Location: Gainesville Middle School (GMS)
• Dates: June 2 – July 29
• Times:
  • 8U: Mondays, 6:00 – 7:00 PM
