Coaching Resources
At the Strathroy Minor Lacrosse Association (SMLA), we understand that coaching is both a rewarding and challenging role. To support our coaches and ensure they have the tools needed to succeed, we provide a variety of free resources designed to enhance their knowledge, skills, and confidence.
Our Purpose:
-
Empowering Coaches: By offering access to practice plans, training guides, and skill development materials, we help coaches feel prepared and capable of delivering high-quality sessions for their teams.
-
Improving Player Experience: Equipping coaches with effective strategies and resources ensures a positive, engaging, and development-focused environment for all players.
-
Building Community: Sharing resources fosters collaboration and consistency across all levels of our association, strengthening our lacrosse community.
-
Encouraging Volunteerism: Supporting our coaches with free tools reduces barriers to volunteering and encourages more individuals to step into coaching roles.
Thank you to all our coaches for your dedication to developing our athletes and growing the game of lacrosse. Together, we can make every season a success!
