Coaching Field Lacrosse – for coaches who wish to deliver field lacrosse sessions, gaining knowledge for either the Women’s or Men’s field lacrosse games and developing tactics for both players and teams.

Talent Coaching – provides resources and knowledge designed to enhance coaching knowledge to coach talented athletes within the performance pathway.

Contact your regional association for information regarding accessing bursaries to subsidise the cost of the course.


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.
