NVYLL is teaming with US Lacrosse and the Potomac Chapter of US Lacrosse to offer FREE training to anyone interested in learning how to teach and coach youth lacrosse with a NVYLL program.
Under NVYLL Rule 1.0.8.a:
It is a goal of NVYLL to have all coaches achieve US Lacrosse Certification (for more information on certification see http://www.uslacrosse.org/cep/certification.phtml.) In order to attain that goal, between the date of publication of this rule and the completion of the spring 2010 season, NVYLL, in conjunction with the Potomac Chapter of US Lacrosse, will provide the following assistance to coaches interested in achieving US Lacrosse Certification:
a. pay for or reimburse coaches for taking the field clinics;
b. provide certificates for coaches to take the online courses free of charge;
c. provide opportunities to attend a free Positive Coaches Alliance clinic or provide certificates to take the course on-line; and
d. reimburse coaches for applying for US Lacrosse certification.
Coaches will need to become member of US Lacrosse to take advantage of these benefits.
So for an investment of $50 (the cost of US Lacrosse membership) you will be:
eligible to attend the Level One field clinic ($65 value). Clinics will be held in Bethesda (Holton Arms) and Leesburg (Simpson Middle School) on January 31st and Alexandria (St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes School) on February 14th. To register, go to http://www.uslacrosse.org/cep/winter2010clinics.phtml;
eligible to receive vouchers to take the Level 1 and Level 2 workshops online ($55 value each);
eligible to attend a Positive Coaches Alliance (“PCA) workshop or receive a certificate to take the course online ($25 value). Dates and location are not yet determined. Membership in US Lacrosse is not a requirement to take this class. For more information on PCA, visit http://www.positivecoach.org/; and
be reimbursed for the cost of applying for certification (including the background check) ($35 value).
So, in a nutshell, for an investment of $50, you can become a US Lacrosse Level 2 certified coach without leaving Northern Virginia. That is a $310 value.
So come on, make the commitment to become a better coach! Sign up today!
