Coaching Course Registration and Pre-Assessment Guide
As a result of confusion over the registration and 'pre-assessment' process for NCCP courses, CDLA has created a guide to lead coaches through the process. Please visit the CDLA website for details.
There are mandatory levels that coaches must achieve to coach in the Axemen Lacrosse Club.
Community-Initiation: Mandatory for Mini Tyke and Tyke Head and Assistant Coaches
Community-Development: Mandatory for Novice and PeeWee Head and Assistant Coaches
Competitive-Introduction: Mandatory for Bantam and Midget Head and Assistant Coaches
Mini Tyke, Tyke and Novice
The CDLA Office has arranged for a series of coaching clinics for coaches in the Mini Tyke, Tyke and Novice divisions. These clinics are designed to provide some direction as to how to run the new game/practice format as per the CLA Long Term Athlete Development Plan.
The clinics will be held next Tuesday, April 27 and Wednesday, April 28th. Coaches only need to attend 1, 1 hour session on either night. Attendance is voluntary but strongly recommended.
