Attention All Coaches:

This page is not only for coaches of Burnaby Minor Lacrosse, but all lacrosse coaches. We are starting to put resources online to help our coaches, and if there are any features you would like added, please let us know.

Paul Dalmonte is our Head Coach and he would like each coach from tyke on upwards to call or email him so that he can try to visit one of your games or practices during the season. Paul has a wealth of knowledge and we can all continue to learn as opportunities arise. Please take advantage of this offer. You can reach him at his email of pauld@burnabylacrosse.com. Thank you.

New this year is that all Door Personnel during games, either exhibition, regular season, or play-offs must complete an on-line certification module & test which is located at the following link;

Door Personnel Module and Test

Existing certified coaches do not need to do this extra component, but they must ensure that their coaching number is also indicated on the scoresheet.

Thank you.

If you intend to coach for the BMLC, you need to obtain a Criminal Record Check.

Please email for info tonys@burnabylacrosse.com

This is a reminder that if you want to call up a player from a team lower than yours you must call the coach of that child before you do so. This is so the coach can keep track of how many games the child has played up for any and all teams. A player may not play more than 4 games at a higher level team. Once that 5th game is played, even if for a different team than the first four games, the child cannot play at the lower level again. Tournament games count towards the four games. We have had situations in the past where the child is called up and does not know the rule. This usually happens in a tournament. We have also had situations where a C player has been called up to more than one B team. If the child plays for one B team 4 times, then just once for another B team, the child cannot go back to the C team. The coach needs to keep track of all games that the child has played up so the 5th game is not played at a higher level. To complicate things further, if you think the lower player may play for you in the playoffs, they need to play 4 games for you. Call me if this is a situation you think you may be in.
Thank you.
