Our coaching staff is one of our most valuable resources.  They teach our youth not only the game of lacrosse, but also very valuable life lessons.  In recognizing this responsibility, every team is required to have at least 1 coach certified as a National Double-Goal Coach™ through the  Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA). PCA teaches “Coaching for Winning and Life Lessons”, and upholds one of the main purposes of LOUYAA,

“To take into consideration, first and foremost, the health, welfare and ability of each individual participant."

LOUYAA Lacrosse also supports additional training for coaches from coaching clinics, to US Lacrosse Level 1&2 certification, CPR/First Aid, and attendance at the US Lacrosse National Convention, where many highly educational sessions are held.

Being part of the LOUYAA Lacrosse Family is a wonderful experience! We make new friends, learn the great game of lacrosse and benefit from all the life lessons it brings… TOGETHER!

The success of our program depends on the support and dedication of all of the players and families. This is a VOLUNTEER organization and succeeds because of all of the terrific people who dedicate their time to ensure that our boys and girls have these opportunities. A huge thank you goes out to all of the coaches, team managers and general volunteers. Thank you for all of your support! Please see the "Volunteer" tab in the left Menu Bar.

Our goal is continuous improvement, and we appreciate your assistance and support. If you ever have any questions, concerns, suggestions or opportunities, please feel free to contact your program Coordinator and/or Commissioner at any time.
