Youth Coaching Opportunities

Our coaches are the heartbeat of the program. They are teachers, mentors, and role models who help shape not only great players but great people.

Every season, our mission is simple: to give as many kids as possible the chance to play, to learn, and to fall in love with the game of lacrosse in a positive, supportive, and competitive environment.

We believe great coaching is about more than wins. It’s about effort, character, teamwork, and growth. Whether you’re teaching brand-new 1st graders how to cradle a ball or helping 6th graders master transition play, your leadership helps build confidence, sportsmanship, and lifelong skills both on and off the field.

Join us in growing the game and empowering the next generation of Golden Eagles. Together, we’ll inspire our next varsity student-athletes, teach fundamentals, and create an experience that players and families will remember for years to come.

Introduce young girls to the sport in a fun, positive, and safe environment. Build confidence, teach fundamentals, and inspire a lifelong love for the game.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead age-appropriate practices focused on passing, catching, cradling, and ground balls.
• Encourage teamwork, sportsmanship, and effort.
• Communicate clearly with parents about schedules and expectations.
• Ensure player safety and proper equipment use.
• Attend BWLA coach meetings and training sessions.

What We’re Looking For:

• Enthusiasm for teaching and mentoring young athletes.
• Patience, positivity, and strong communication skills.
• Lacrosse experience a plus—but not required.
• Commitment to 1–2 practices per week plus weekend games.
