CEP Certification Initiative Mission

US Lacrosse encourages all coaches to participate in some or all components of the CEP, and encourages leagues and clubs to also utilize the CEP for their coaching education needs. It is our vision that all lacrosse teams are coached by certified US Lacrosse coaches for the benefit and quality of our sport and for the enhanced enjoyment of the game for both coaches and players.

Why should I become certified?
Your Level 1 certification verifies that you are a coach set apart from the crowd. You have achieved coaching knowledge from the ONLY standardized lacrosse coach training program in the U.S. developed and endorsed by the leader in the sport, the national governing body, US Lacrosse.

Gain a wealth of coaching knowledge and techniques through your certification journey. Tap into the curriculum built by coaches and players at the top of the game, laid out in a logical, progressive way to help you have the most impact on your players.

Certification is easy and convenient. Previous participation in any of the Level 1 educational components counts toward certification. All in-person components for certification are available every year at the US Lacrosse National Convention.
