This course begins with an initial assessment of each coach to gauge baseline level of experience and competence. Following this, an individual action plan is drawn up and participants will be mentored through the week of coaching to meet their action plan goals. The course is designed to enable coaches to independently plan and deliver lacrosse sessions, developing tactics for both players and teams. Coaches will be required to fully utilise online resources provided, to support their practical learning, which forms part of the course. The mentoring will end with a second assessment in order to gain full competency and complete the qualification.

Soon after registering for the course, Nik Roberts of England Lacrosse will contact you to give you access to the learning portal, where you access the online material. These resources are to help you and also include elements of the course to complete online, including Child Protection Course and Basic First Aid Course. There will also be a compulsory 1 hour zoom call before your course, timings will be confirmed closer to the time.

The course is open to anyone age 18 or over on the day of assessment.
