SPARKS, Md. – USA Lacrosse is set to open its first training event dedicated to the new Sixes discipline, developed by World Lacrosse. Rising senior Maddie Jenner was selected to compete at the event.
More than 40 of the nation's top men's and women's lacrosse players will take part in the training camp, which will include a public exhibition during the USA Lacrosse Youth Nationals in Frederica, Del., on July 13. Jenner is one of 12 current and former ACC standouts chosen to the 24-player roster.
Sixes is a fast-paced version of the sport played on a smaller field (70 x 36 meters), with fewer players (6 v 6), a condensed game length (four 8-minute quarters) and a 30-second shot clock.
