Dallas, TX: Partners/Partners Coaches Training

Dallas, TX: Partners/Partners Coaches Training

C2C partners receive Coach the Coaches training. This is delivered through Partners Coaches Training (PCT) certification and follow-up sessions.

The PCT is an annual event for all C2C partners' coaches and friends of C2C such as Bridge Lacrosse. This is a six-part training series. It is held over two days (weekend certification) and once a month over six months. The Level 1 Curriculum covers:

  • Honoring the Game / ROOTS
  • Positive Coaching Alliance
  • Affective Communication
  • Extra Man Offense
  • Man Down Defense
  • and more

In addition, training on C2C curriculum is provided on:  grade appropriate skill development, practice planning, drill handbook, and more. The PCT provides general training for coaches and certification upon completion of this material. The inaugural PCT event was held on August 20th - 21st, 2011. In addition to this event, C2C conducts private follow-up sessions with each partner program.

For partner coaches that can not attend the event, additional monthly sessions are offered over the following six months. One part of the six-parts training series is covered monthly. This allows coaches the opportunity to earn PCT certification over a single weekend at the event or over six monthly sessions after the event. 

After PCT certification, C2C works with each partner program individually. They schedule a private session to formalize the program's unique offensive and defensive strategies. This complements the PCT general material and provides the program training custom fit for their teams.

In addition to training, the coaches are given a first look at new lacrosse gear from C2C Texas sponsor Maverik Lacrosse.
