To improve, players need instruction, practice, and time to develop. The same is true for coaches. USA Lacrosse is comprised of coaches from all walks of life, with varying levels of experience, and covering all age levels of players.

Our member coaches range from full-time professionals to new parent volunteers who are just helping out. Regardless of your background, it's our vision that all lacrosse teams are coached by USA Lacrosse certified coaches for the benefit and quality of our sport.

With this in mind, we have created our Coach Certification Pathways. These programs are designed to cover a broad range of topics and to support the development of coaches through a progression of steps. These certifications are the foundation of the USA Lacrosse Coach Development Program, which seeks to grow the game and enrich the lacrosse experience for all participants.

The USA Lacrosse Coach Development Program is the surest way to access everything you need to know to be a great lacrosse coach. Learn the art of effective lacrosse coaching with this nationally recognized program designed by experts in the field.
