Our History
Coyotes Lacrosse Club is an all volunteer, 501(C)3 non-profit organization, established in 2002, to promote the sport of lacrosse on the San Francisco Peninsula.

We are an affiliate of US Lacrosse of Northern California and a member of both the Northern California Junior Lacrosse Association (NCJLA) and US Lacrosse - the national governing body for the sport.
US Lacrosse
Coyotes Lacrosse Club is not part of any single city or school district. We accept players from all cities on the San Francisco Peninsula, at all playing levels - from both public and private schools.

Coyotes Lacrosse Club relies on its player's parents to help run the club and provide the players with a positive playing experience.

We can be reached by email: playlax@coyoteslacrosse.org or you can leave us a voice mail: 650-737-8255.

Our mailing address is PO Box 1544, Burlingame, CA 94011.

Our Mission
The Coyotes Lacrosse Club will teach its players to honor the traditions of the game:
"To compete with intensity, lose with dignity and win with grace."

Our Playing Time Philosophy
Positive Coaching Alliance Coyotes Lacrosse teams will play to win, but not at all costs. The Coyotes subscribe to the principles of the Positive Coaching Alliance® as set forth below:
In the youngest divisions, all players who attend practice regularly and show a commitment to preparation will play in each game. At practice, we strive to provide every player an equal opportunity to learn the game. This does not necessarily translate into equal playing time in each game. Together with the situation faced during each game, individual athletic ability, commitment, effort and focus will all be factored into playing time decisions.

By the time players reach the middle school divisions, a greater emphasis will be placed on competition. Players will compete with their teammates for playing time as well as competing against Coyotes’ opponents. Sports teaches many of life’s’ lessons, and at the middle school level we begin the transition to competition at the highest levels.

At the high school levels, coaches will field the team that they believe to be the most competitive. Depending on the quality of the opponent, some players might not enter the game while the outcome of the contest is in question. Disparity in physical development is at its greatest through the middle school years, and development as a lacrosse player continues in practice regardless of overall ability to compete. Players who have not physically matured will soon catch up with or surpass their peers.
