I'm okay with this. "Make-it, take-it" lacrosse sucks IMO.

I suppose the team getting ball 70%+ of the time is technically "better" but it doesn't feel that way. [/quote]

Ditto[/quote]

What's the alternative? 
Take it out of the goal and go like box
Clear behind the net in the goalie's stick
Clear at mid field
1 FO per quarter or start or half
No FO at all

Under the current rules, it's really odd any public or private wouldn't invest in this position. Host clinics, have fo drills for the entire team, anything to find a player(s) who can increase the odds. [/quote]

Yes - FO at the start of each quarter, and then clear behind the net in the goalie’s stick after a goal.

Put more emphasis on the ride versus the FO.

which was tried in the late 70s or early 80s for a year in college and deemed ineffective. It basically prevents a team from coming back.[/quote]

Total game scores in the 70s and 80s were rarely over 20 and usually under 15. FO didn’t matter as much then. It was a much more defensive game with the stick technology of the time.

And while it’s fair to argue that not having a FO after goals prevents teams from mounting miraculous comebacks, it would also prevent a whole lot more teams from getting blown out or needing a miraculous comeback.

I get the pushback and don’t ever expect it to happen, but at least think that rec and club level lacrosse below 6th grade should try to mimimize it to the start of each period only.  [/quote]

All good points.  The theory behind using the sixes format to grow the game is to make the game more playable and remove the impact of specialists, letting athletes shine.  A lot of the criticisms above are addressed in that version of the game.  Unfortunately, now there are getting to be so many different versions of the rules (NCAA, NFHS, Sixes, Federation Youth, NCAA Club, Box, PLL, NLL,  etc...) that it is ceases to be just one sport anymore.  However, this thread is supposed to be DMV private schools 2026 Boys lacrosse where everyone uses the same NCAA rules.  So it is high time we get back debating whether God wears purple, the path to the championship goes through Military Road, if PVI is actually legit or just shining cause its still March, and which of the three usual suspects in the IAC will be healthy enough to say that they are either better or more expensive than everyone else in the area come May.[/quote]

Amen!!

Back to actual games.

PVI by 2 EHS
Culver by 6 Landon
GC by 5 vs BO
STA by 2 Oceanside
