If you’ve ever had the inkling to coach college lacrosse, or your looking to extend your resume, now is the time to do it! A solid handful of MCLA and NAIA programs are filling various voids over the summer: head coaches, administrators, goalie instructors and more. The demand for quality leaders is out there and since (most) NAIA teams complete (mostly) in the MCLA, we’ve included both lists together! From free and discounted tuition, to salaries of $20k and up, there’s something out there for nearly every walk of life.
We’ve uncovered seventeen coaching and administrative vacancies across eleven different states. Spots are open in Arizona, California, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Oregon and Texas, so whether you’re looking to relocate, go back to school, or finish up after your eligibility expires, each role is worth exploring and imagining how it best fits into life’s plans.
