The Fly Sixes Lacrosse League is set to welcome 130 young players to Cheadle Hulme Lacrosse Club tomorrow (Friday 30 May) as part of another community skills festival ahead of the conclusion of The Fly’s 2025 season on Saturday 31 May and Sunday 1 June.

Boys and girls from the Greater Manchester area who play at U10 to U15 level will join several stars of The Fly 2025, including British Lacrosse and Swift men’s Head Coach Ravi K. Sitlani, England player William Baxter (Swift), and Swift Team Manager Lyndon Stewart, for the skills festival.

Attendees will have the opportunity to play the Olympic six-a-side version of lacrosse that is played at The Fly and be coached by some of the best in the UK.

The Manchester skills festival follows a hugely successful version held at Blackheath Rugby Club before the opening weekend of The Fly 2025 that saw 150 school children from the Bromley and Greenwich areas of London take part in several skills stations throughout the day.

The aim of both festivals is to give children in the local area the opportunity to play lacrosse and be introduced to the sixes Olympic version of the sport that the whole world will be watching at LA28.

This skills festival is all part of The Fly’s commitment to promoting and expanding the knowledge of Sixes Lacrosse within the local community.

The Fly Sixes Lacrosse League is the world’s first National Lacrosse League featuring the six-a-side version of the sport and was founded in 2021.

Since its first season four years ago, the competition has gone from strength to strength featuring the best players in the UK and featuring 10 nationalities in 2025.
