No offside rule — players move freely across field; Goalkeeper may participate in play across the field (within crease for goalie privileges); Body contact substantially reduced vs men's field lacrosse — Sixes emphasizes stick checks, not body checks
Why people argue about this
People often assume that goalkeepers in Lacrosse Sixes can't move freely across the field like other players do, thinking they're restricted by an offside rule. But actually, the rule allows them to participate and move anywhere on the field within their crease, just like any other player. This leads to confusion because it seems contradictory to what many expect based on common soccer rules.
