Overview
Sandhills Sixes is a local "Train & Play" lacrosse program for boys and girls in grades 1-8.
Designed by former Division I All-American, U.S. National Team athlete, and DI college coach Nikki (Lieb) Schwob, the program combines skill development and game play in a fun, fast-paced environment. Using the small-sided Sixes format, players get more touches, more decision-making opportunities, and more involvement than traditional full-field play.
Our mission is to provide high-quality local lacrosse opportunities while making the sport more accessible for families throughout the Sandhills region. Each 90-Minute session includes a team practice/skill development session followed by a competitive sixes game where athletes apply what they learned.
Why Sandhills Sixes?
- More touches than traditional lacrosse
- More local playing opportunities
- Less travel
- Multi-sport friendly
- Trained coaches and curriculum
- Designed specifically for Sandhills families
