How the Level 2 clinics fit within the full Level 2 curriculum:
Coaches must complete a Level 2 clinic to complete Level 2 certification. The Level 2 online course is also part of the certification requirements but does not have to be completed prior to the Level 2 clinic.
The sites for Level 2 clinics will be determined based on centrality to areas that have the most Level 1 clinic trained coaches. If interested in hosting a clinic, please review the
What coaches will learn:
Level 2 Clinics are TACTICALLY and PRACTICALLY focused. At the Level 2 clinics, coaches will receive detailed instruction and engage in valuable conversation on building the tactical elements of their team based on overarching principles for offense, defense and mid-field/transition. This instruction is geared toward coaching players who have an understanding of the basic skills and objectives of the game.
Coaches will also understand how practice planning fits into overall tactical objectives for their seasons.
What coaches will NOT receive instruction on at the Level 2 clinics: Level 2 SKILL instruction for coaches of players who already have an understanding of basic lacrosse skills is found in the Level 2 online courses and DVD’s. This will not be covered at the clinic. Nutrition, sports psychology, and conditioning are also found in the online course and in tracks 2 and 3 at the National Convention.
