Professional Development Opportunities for Coaches
Professional Development Opportunities
The Saskatchewan Lacrosse Association is excited to offer some online, informative sessions to support your lacrosse coaching journey. The presenters will be sharing their ideas as they relate to athletes at the U15 level and above. These sessions will also count toward your professional development requirements to maintain your certification. Here are the professional development requirements for each of the levels of lacrosse coaches:
| Certification Level | Professional Development Points Required |
| Community Development (CMD) | no PD points required |
| Competition Introduction (CPI) | 20 PD points every 5 years |
| Competition Development (COMP-DEV) | 30 PD points every 5 years |
How you can Accumulate PD Points:
- NCCP training or evaluation events are worth 5 points.
- Non-NCCP events are worth 1 point for each hour they last, up to a maximum of 3 points.
- “Active coaching” will give you 1 point per year.
- Through “Self-directed learning” you can earn a maximum of 3 points per five-year PD cycle.
