Summer Scheduling/Coaches Meeting
MSLax will return to an in-person scheduling meeting in conjunction with our coaches meetings, similar to what we had pre-COVID. We ask that each association sends a representative to the meeting to schedule their games. The summer season meeting will be held on May 5th from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM at Benilde-St. Margaret's.
We will also be covering new rule changes, suggested drills, and updated policies & procedures for the 2024 season during these meetings.

Required Coach Certification
MSLax requires that all coaches become USA Lacrosse Bronze level certified coaches. This is included in the USA Lacrosse coaches membership for no additional fee and will replace the previous USA Lacrosse CEP Level I requirement.
Details include:
1. Apply for an annual USA Lacrosse coach membership here. Players who coach can hold a dual membership for playing and coaching.
2. Complete the USA Lacrosse background check.
3. Complete the online USA Lacrosse Abuse Prevention, Cardiac Care, Concussion, and Cultural Competency courses.
4. Pass the USA Lacrosse Annual Rules Test.
Once coaches complete these components, they are officially certified and will have more standardized knowledge on the field to teach MSLax youth lacrosse players how to play safely and consistently. More information on certification can be found on the USA Lacrosse Coaches Certification website.
