For Coaches

All coaches must be members of USA Lacrosse. Preferably coaches should also have at least level 1 coaching certification. As a member of USA Lacrosse, you'll have access to some excellent coaching resources on their web site.  If you haven't yet achieved level 1 coaching certification, please consider doing so. Regardless, a USA Lacrosse membership is required for all coaches (both head coaches and assistants) to avoid jeopardizing our liability insurance coverage. The club will reimburse you for USA Lacrosse membership and/or coaching certification fees.

Pre-Season Team Meeting

Plan on having a pre-season meeting with parents and players (for example, maybe before or after one of your practices at the civic arena). This will allow you to answer any questions and set expectations for the season (for example, about the need for every family to pitch in one way or another...as team parent, assistant coach, team tent at tourneys, or at the Honor the Game tourney, etc.).


Communication with Your Team

We mostly use the SportsEngine system since the contact info is already there.

There are links to tips and instructions about using the SportsEngine system here: LINK

US Lacrosse / MYLA Info Guide

This guide is meant to be a resource for your program during the upcoming season. Inside, you will find information about rules, game and safety procedures, important contacts, and a host of other information designed to answer administrator, coach, and parent questions quickly and easily.
