If you know of any coaches trainings, lacrosse conferences or education sessions that would be helpful to parents or coaches, Please pass the information on to Andrew at 259-4805 or andrew@wakemanclub.com

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.
*All volunteers that are interested in coaching our lacrosse programs (3rd-8th grade) are required to attend a session prior to the start of the season.


Classes -   
The next date for Coaches Training will be posted here in the upcoming week (the March 6th date has been postponed).  Please look to this page for the next scheduled date.  The training classes typically take place on a Saturday morning at 9:00am and run for 90 minutes.

Please email Andrew Tremaglio at Andrew@wakemanclub.com to sign up for the coaching class.
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.

The volunteer coaches form will be posted on the Wakeman website and mailed to the parents of all children who
register their child to play in one of the lacrosse programs. This form will be mailed home in early February along with the dates for the coaches certification and practice times for the spring.
 
ONLY COACHES THAT ATTEND A SESSION WILL BE VIEWED AS CANDIDATES TO COACH AT WAKEMAN. For more information about coaching classes and your status as a Certified Wakeman Coach,
