Becoming a coach
Effective coaching is a critical component of lacrosse, as with any sport. Coaches play a vital role in inspiring, motivating, and developing athletes. Coaching is a challenging and rewarding experience that requires commitment, dedication, and knowledge and allows you to develop performance and enjoyment in all players at all levels.
To coach lacrosse in Scotland you must be a member of Lacrosse Scotland and have at least 2 years of playing experience.
