Coaching
Want to get involved? We are always looking for enthusiastic parents to help! No lacrosse experience necessary :)
In order to provide the best coaching experience for our players, Titans Youth Lacrosse coaches are required to be certified by Mass Youth Lacrosse.
In order to become MYL certified you must have the following:
- A valid MYL certification (reimbursed by Titans) https://www.massyouthlax.org/
- Be CORI checked by your town program each year (this is State Law)
- Complete a Positive Coaching Alliance on-line course. This is paid for by MYL when you register with us. You will get a code to enter which waives the fee when you take it at the PCA website. You are only required to take this one time, however PCA offers multiple courses and we encourage you to take additional ones to enhance our Positive Coaching culture.
- Complete one of the MYL in person courses every two years. In addition to rules constantly changing, we feel that the progression offered will keep it very worthwhile.

"Better Athletes, Better People"
PCA’s philosophy focuses on sports as an opportunity for character education, espousing the Double-Goal Coach, whose first goal is winning, and whose second, more important goal is teaching life lessons through sports.
Positive Coaching Alliance has three national goals:
- Replace "win-at-all-cost" coaching with Double-Goal Coaching
- Help youth sports organization leaders create a culture in which "Honoring the Game" is the norm
- Spark and fuel a "social epidemic" of Positive Coaching in the United States
