🥍 Coaches, players, parents, fans, everyone is so excited to hear about this, and you can count me as one of the excited, for sure. But...for someone who loves this game, it is sad to see how much we had to change the game to make it more palatable for the IOC. 👉🏼 Don't get me wrong, I love 6s as much as the next player, but I will also be the first one to say that 6s can be exclusionary. 👉🏼 Well, this is the Olympics - it's supposed to be exclusionary - it's the best athletes in the world competing! Yes, I agree with you here, but soccer doesn't have to change their format to play, and the fans are still riveted 💯 My fear of exclusion more so exacerbates itself when I think of our younger players and the budding athletes who want to give lacrosse a shot, but are intimidated about this format, or feel that they won't be able to keep up 😕 The game of lacrosse as it is, the full field, celebrates players of all sizes, body types, and abilities, with the understanding that it is these beautiful differences that 👏🏼make 👏🏼up 👏🏼a 👏🏼team. ♟️ Teammates learn to use their strengths & weaknesses, as a whole, and coaches are forced to constantly strategize with these variables in mind, to help make the best outcomes for their team. Again - I LOVE sixes. They are a TON of fun to play in and to coach 🖤 But I'm also privy to my former teammates and people I coach throwing in the towel, because of their pace, and not wanting to compete. (Yes, I know this is NOT the case for the Olympic Games...) 👉🏼 But let's be real. Lacrosse is already a tad exclusionary. It's expensive as hell. (And this format has now added another level to that.) I come from a county where we had no business playing lacrosse - we were too poor to afford it. But our athletes? 🔥 They were amazing - they had the fire that all coaches want on their team! 🥍 However, I'd be crazy to negate the fact that if it wasn't for a coach, who got her own grant to bring it to the school, we would've never been able to experience it. Because of her, we came to the field met with sticks, goggles, and an excitement that this was our opportunity to play. 🧐 Taking this into mind, and the format of the sixes, I'd be silly to say I wasn't nervous, as a lover of the game. 🎉 My hope is that this is just a test and that the full field, beautiful game of lacrosse, will one day make its true entrance onto the world stage. Am I excited about this development though? Hell yeah. If you think I won't be screaming alongside fans around the world, you got another thing coming. I simply wanted to share this alternative opinion. What are your thoughts? #lacrosse #lax #OlympicGames

And so the five year plan is initiated 😎
