Be a Coach

England Lacrosse is committed to developing excellence in coaching and officiating, providing courses and resources to support volunteers and professionals working in the lacrosse community.

Using a combination of ‘face-to-face’ and online delivery, training is available for coaching, teaching and officiating at all levels.

WHICH COURSE IS RIGHT FOR ME?

  • Fundamentals of Lacrosse - The perfect course for learning the basic principles of coaching for individuals with little or no prior knowledge of lacrosse. The Introduction to Lacrosse will enable the learner to deliver entry level versions of the game and support full field coaches

  • Field Lacrosse - For learners with experience of the full field game. The Coaching Field Lacrosse course will be split for the men’s and women’s field game and focus on the coaching of team training and preparation for games

  • Advanced - Aimed at coaches with the experience, skills and ambition to coach talented athletes and performance level squads; from our Talent Pathway through to senior internationals


We also offer bespoke courses aimed at the school sector which are tailored dependent on the needs of the individuals and the school.

Teacher Continued Professional Development – for qualified, trainee teachers or multi-skilled coaches looking to add basic lacrosse into the school curriculum or in an after-school club.

Young Leaders Lacrosse – a bespoke course designed for teacher delivery to enable pupils to deliver lacrosse-based activity to their peers under the supervision of a responsible adult within the school environment.
