The Rules
These rules will be following the proposed Olympic Sixes rules. We will educate players and families on these leading into the event. We will have visible shot clocks for the semis and finals!
:30 second shot clock
Games played in four 8-minute quarters
Goalies initiate play after goals are scored; draws/face-offs occur only at the start of each quarter
70 x 36 meter field
Emphasizes tempo, with fewer stoppages in play
Everyone plays both sides of the field (defense/offense); substitutions made on the fly
Rosters comprised of 10-15 players, leading to more playing time and more touches on the ball
On the women’s side, defensive players 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
