If you know of any coaches trainings, lacrosse conferences or education sessions that would be helpful to parents or coaches, Please pass the information to us at (203) 259-4805.

Training Sessions:
We are currently putting together dates for Winter lacrosse coaching training sessions that will offer different types of drills that will help focus on the fundamental and skill development of players.

COACHES TRAINING
Wakeman requires all coaches to attend a mandatory coaching certification program. The program will follow the guidelines of the American Sport Education Program (ASEP), a nationally recognized youth sport-coaching curriculum. It will include a 2-hour workshop covering a discussion of coaching responsibilities, planning techniques and legal obligations.

The games first approach vs. teaching using skills-drills ending with a scrimmage is a fresh outlook that makes the players & coaches enjoy coaching while their players are learning & having fun. Coaches that attend will be added to the volunteer list & will be considered based on availability and need on an individual basis each season. Attending the course does not guarantee you will be slotted as a coach. Attendees will be given the latest edition
of the “Coaching Youth Lacrosse” book that is loaded with games to play, practice planning tips & much more.
