The LIVE Player draft 2025 is all set to take place tonight (5 February; 7.15pm) when the world will discover the final make-up of the eight squads competing at the fifth edition of the world’s first and best Sixes Lacrosse competition.
The Fly Draft 2025 is the final stage of the player selection process for this year’s competition and the stage at which each Head Coach gets to build their roster with the aim of success this summer.
Following the protected player announcements last year, each team across the men’s and women’s competitions already has four players; two retained from 2024, and two British Lacrosse designated players.
With The Fly 2024 taking place over four game days in May and June, this year will once again see each squad made up of 15 players with head coaches able to select 12 players for each match team; this is to ensure the highest level of competition across the four dates and to give coaches the opportunity to switch things up across game days.
During the draft this year, our Head Coaches will take turns to make 11 player selections to complete their squads. Teams will make their picks in order based on their finishing positions in 2024, with teams who finished 4th receiving the first picks, then 3rd etc. before selection snakes back down the line with Round 2 beginning with the teams that won in 2024.
We’ll also be following all the action LIVE as it happens for the first time ever with the live draft broadcast on The Fly YouTube Channel.
