Lower Cape Lacrosse is extremely grateful and appreciative of our coaches.  Every coach is a volunteer parent or community member who is dedicated to growing the game on Cape Cod and developing our youth as athletes and individuals.

We encourage our coaching volunteers to teach everything from fundamental skills to advanced team tactics and strategy in an age-appropriate and safe manner.

One of the essential functions and responsibilities of coaches and team managers is to actively manage team communications with players and their families via the SportsEngine app. Coaches, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or need help navigating SportsEngine!
