At the moment, the Women’s Sixes National Team is working hard to prepare for the Lacrosse Canada Super Sixes tourney starting Friday, October 7 at Civic Stadium Field in Oshawa, Ontario.
Currently, the national Lacrosse teams were formed in 2007 by Storm Trentham who introduced lacrosse to Kenya in collaboration with Sporting Change International and DBA Sports.
Meanwhile, Lacrosse is a team game in which a ball is passed between teammates using a stick with a mesh or net at one end.
The lacrosse stick (or “crosse”) can be used to catch, carry and pass the ball with the intention of stopping your opponents from gaining possession. When the opposing side has the ball, the defending team can attempt to dispossess them using their sticks (against opponents’ sticks) or bodies.

ATHLETICS Sigh of relief as World Athletics give approval to Kenyan relay teams to grace World Championships
World Athletics gave a nod to the men’s 4x100m team, men’s 4x400m team, and the mixed relay team to be entered into the tight race.
Each team consists of 10 players, one goalkeeper, three defenders, three midfielders, and three attackers. The lacrosse sticks are split between “short” and “long” sticks.
To score a goal in Lacrosse, a team must propel the ball from their lacrosse stick into the goal such that it fully crosses the goal line.
