No lacrosse experience needed/required.

If you are new to lacrosse and/or coaching you will be paired with an experienced coach.

All you need is a great attitude towards kids and a few hours a week.

Save 50% on PYL registration fees for your child.

Coaches should try to make every practice, but if your schedule prevents that we can work around it. Do not shy away if you have to miss one night a week!

Season runs from mid-April to about mid June.

Boys programs practice M/W/F evenings, around 6pm to 7:30pm. We ask the boys to make two of the three per week.

Girls programs practice T/TH evenings, around 6pm to 7:30pm.

"Game day" coaching is very simple, especially at the younger ages (sometimes there is little strategy beyond trying to complete a pass!).

Games are scheduled via the Rochester Area Lacrosse League site.

Coaches Credo:
One hundred years from now
It will not matter
What kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
How much money I had in my bank account,
Nor what my clothes looked like.

But one hundred years from now
The world may be a little better
Because I was important
In the life of a child.
