Coaches - We'll be hosting a U.S. Lax Level 1 coaching clinic on Saturday, October 24th at the Longmeadow High School. We're excited to be hosting a US Lacrosse Level 1 Clinic on October 24th at the Longmeadow High School. The training clinic runs from 9 to 4. Typically the sessions are held in the Boston area so this will be the first one in Western Mass for girls lax. This will be the one chance to take the class in the area. We encourage all our coaches who have not had the chance to take this class to attend.
The session will be taught by one of US Lax's top coach trainers and will include mix of class room and live drill practice "hands-on" sessions. It provides a great foundation of both Girls Lax coaching as well as general coaching philosophy. The fee for the class is $65 for US Lax members. If you're not a US Lax member, then you can sign up for higher fee to cover insurance.
I've attached the link for US Lax members to look up your US Lax # and then a link to then sign up for the Clinic:
