Coaching and Accreditation

Minimum Coaching Accreditation for Club Lacrosse

In an effort to improve the overall standard of coaching in Victorian Lacrosse it is compulsory for all club coaches to complete the Australian Sports Commision (ASC) Basic Principles course.  This training is also ideal for the new aspiring coach. Training is free and can be done online.  Once complete, successfully particpants will receive a registration number.  Registration numbers are to be submitted to the Lacrosse Victoria Office via the LV Manager (Paul Clough).  As incentive to complete the online training, successful participants will be provided with a password to access playsportstv website, (which is accessible via the LV website).
