What coach clinic should I take?

Community Development is the first training level in the coaching stream and is a pre-requisite to the Competition Introduction Coaching Clinic. If you have never taken a lacrosse coach clinic before, this is the clinic you should begin with. 

Once you have successfully taken your Community Development Coaching Clinic, then Competition Introduction is the next step in your coaching pathway progression. 

How old must I be?

Registrants must be 16 years of age by the time of the clinic. No exceptions. This age criteria is determined by the Coaching Association of Canada which will only approve coaching clinics on their Locker website if the registrant taking the clinic is 16.
