Mission Statement
As the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee for the NILCA, our mission is to enhance the game of lacrosse by supporting high school coaches as they embrace, empathize, affirm, and appreciate all of the identities within our lacrosse community.
Our committee is dedicated to providing coaches with resources, education, and brave spaces for authentic dialogue that will lead to growth, understanding, equity, and inclusion for all members in our community and those they influence.
NILCA
The National Interscholastic Lacrosse Coaches Association (NILCA) was formed to provide dedicated service to high school lacrosse coaches throughout the United States. NILCA seeks to identify and provide solutions to issues raised by men’s high school lacrosse coaches.
NILCA serves as the professional association for Men’s High School Lacrosse Coaches. It provides educational opportunities and serves as a vehicle for networking, the exchange of information and advocacy on behalf of its constituency.
