Highly Recommended:
That you have completed a Level 1 online course prior to attending a clinic.

Clinic benefits:
• Level 1 clinics are 7 hours in length (one day).
• Certificate of completion
• Credit toward Level 1 certification
• Exclusive clinic resource materials
• Instruction from certified trainers
• Opportunity to meet other coaches from your area

How the Level 1 clinics fit within the full Level 1 curriculum:
Coaches must complete a Level 1 clinic to complete Level 1 certification.

What coaches will learn:
Level 1 of the US Lacrosse Coaching Education Program is designed to introduce coaches to the responsibilities and philosophies of coaching and how to provide a safe and athlete-centered environment that emphasizes positive growth and sportsmanship. Level 1 provides the tools needed to teach rules, basic individual skills, and basic team concepts to a group of beginning players, regardless of age. Level 1 training is relevant for ALL lacrosse coaches regardless of experience. Coaches at all levels of experience will benefit from this training as they look to strengthen their coaching foundation and knowledge base.

Walk-up registration
Walk-ups are accepted, but materials for these attendees will be limited. Walk-up fee is $85 for those attendees that receive materials. For those who do not receive materials, cost will remain $70 and the attendee will need to purchase the workbook via US Lacrosse after the clinic. Lunch for walk-ups will be provided as long as supplies last. 

Level 1 Clinic Refund Policy
In the event that you cannot attend a clinic after registering, you may receive a full refund for your Level 1 clinic by following the procedure below:

You MUST notify US Lacrosse by e-mail at CEP@uslacrosse.org by noon on Wednesday prior to your clinic.
Your e-mail subject must be Clinic Attendance Refund, and it must include:
  1)  Your full name

  3)  City, State and Site of clinic you registered for
  4)  Name on credit card that clinic was charged to
  5)  Type of card

A refund will be issued to the card used to register and will be made 5-10 business days after notification. Failure to notify US Lacrosse by noon on the Wednesday before the clinic, or failure to follow the above instructions could result in the inability to refund your registration fee.

Clinic Cancellation Policy
Due to the national scope of our instructional clinics, our hosts are responsible for deciding if it is safe for coaches to travel to the clinic site during inclement weather. The hosts will email participants no later than 6:00 a.m. the morning of the clinic upon cancellation. If a clinic is cancelled, registrants will be refunded in full.
