MN Elite Sixes

About Sixes

  • ALL HIGH SCHOOL MN ELITE ROSTERS PLAY SIXES DURING THEIR YEAR-ROUND TRAINING
  • Continuous gameplay: after a goal, play resumes with a goalie clear; draws occur only at the start of each quarter
  • Smaller field (70 x 36 meters)
  • Emphasizes tempo, with fewer stoppages in play and more touches on the ball
  • Everyone plays both sides of the field (defense/offense); substitutions made on the fly
  • Defenders are not penalized for entering the shooting lane of an offensive player
  • Offensive players are penalized for taking a shot without regard for other players
