Coaches Training
Greenwich Youth Lacrosse strives to find coaches with a combination of good lacrosse knowledge, the ability to teach skills, and the ability to relate positively to young athletes. We hope to shape the skills and enthusiasm of our players so that they develop a love for the game of lacrosse.
GYL is excited to announce a partnership with The Positive Coaching Alliance to create and maintain an “Honoring the Game” culture throughout our organization.
The Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) is transforming youth sports so sports can transform youth. Through partnership with more than 1,100 youth sports organizations, leagues, schools and cities nationwide, PCA has conducted 5,000-plus workshops for youth sports coaches, parents, organizational leaders and athletes.
The Partnership program includes live workshops for our coaches and parents, with the goals of:
A workshop for house league and travel coaches is scheduled for March 6th, 2009. Time and location will be posted on our home page.
