Commissioners;

Below is a reminder of the upcoming US Lacrosse Level 1 Clinic for both boys’ and girls’ coaches clinic.

NVYLL rule 1.0.8 requires all head coaches to be Level 1 certified and suggests that all coaches be Level 1 certified. Next year all coaches must be at least Level 1 certified.

The Executive Committee will be reviewing your list of coaches to make sure each head coach is certified. Failure for a head coach to be certified will lead to penalties greater than the cost of becoming certified (US Lacrosse membership and certification cost).

NVYLL will reimburse the cost not covered by the Potomac Chapter (excluding US Lacrosse membership) for every NVYLL coach attending this clinic.
