The success of our program depends on the cooperation
and dedication of all of the players and families. This is a VOLUNTEER
organization and could not operate with out all of the selfless personnel
that dedicate their time to ensure that our boys and girls have these
opportunities. A huge thank you goes out to all of the coaches, team
managers and volunteers. Thank you for all of your support! (Please see the
Volunteer tab for more information)
Our coaching staff is one of our most valuable
resources. They teach our youth not only the game of lacrosse, but also
very valuable life lessons. In recognizing this responsibility, every team
this year was required to have at least 1 coach certified as a National
Double-Goal Coach™. Offered by the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), it
teaches “Coaching for Winning and Life Lessons”, and upholds one of the main
purposes of LUYAA, “To take into consideration, first and foremost, the
health, welfare and ability of each individual participant." (Learn more
about PCA at
www.positivecoach.org) Additionally, each team has the opportunity to
send at least 1 coach to additional training for coaching or first aid.
We are very excited to bring the LUYAA Lacrosse
Festival to the entire lax program this year. (See the “Tournaments” tab
for more information.) We’ve also replaced worn and unsafe equipment,
provided new coaching tools for the boys programs, and established inventory
management systems and individualized budgets for each program. Our goal is
continuous improvement, and we appreciate your assistance and support.
If you ever have any questions, concerns, suggestions
or opportunities, please feel free to contact your program coordinator
(Heather Erdman- Urbana Boys, Kim Smith- Linganore Boys, Lisa Guay- Girls)
and/or me at any time.
We hope you have a great season!
