Why Coach Lacrosse

"Wherever there is an athlete, there is a coach. While some coaches start out as athletes, most are parents, teachers, sport fans, and community members who want to be part of a sport they love and make a difference. 

Coaches inspire their participants to excel. They lead while building tomorrow’s leaders. When you coach, you encourage participants of all ages to be active, to challenge themselves, and to have fun. In fact, coaching offers enormous benefits for coaches and participants alike."  - coach.ca, Why be a Coach?

The basic fact of rec sports is this: teams need coaches.

Many people believe that to coach one has to be some sort of expert at their sport.  This is simply not true. First and foremost a good coach only needs to be a good learner.  If you can learn, you will learn the rules, the skills, and the strategies. You will learn how to teach the game to young athletes.  You will learn how to inspire kids to pick up a stick and experience the joy that comes with playing lacrosse.  

A new coach will learn enough to start growing the game within themselves and that knowledge and experience will grow as the athletes knowledge and experience grows.  It really is that simple.  It is also that much more enjoyable when the end goal of a lacrosse season is not all about winning, but providing a safe & fun learning environment where the players and their coach can progress in their journey with the game.
