OSHAWA, ON — As Canada prepares for the LA28 Olympic Games, Lacrosse Canada is accepting applications for General Manager and Head Coach positions with both the Men’s and Women’s Sixes National & Olympic Teams.
The successful candidates will help lead Canada’s Sixes programs through the 2027 World Sixes Championships in Colorado Springs, USA, and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Responsibilities include athlete identification and selection, coaching and support staff recruitment, high-performance planning, and the continued development of Canada’s national team programs.
Lacrosse Canada is seeking candidates with high-performance lacrosse experience and a strong understanding of athlete development, team leadership and international competition. Candidates may apply for the General Manager and Head Coach positions separately, although preference will be given to individuals who can fulfill both roles. For the Women’s Sixes program, previous coaching experience in high-performance women’s Sixes, field or box lacrosse is considered a significant asset.
Both opportunities are part-time contract positions based remotely in Canada, with an initial two-year term running from January 2027 to December 2028.
