The association calls for coaches to push their players to be more active within the community, whether it's related to lacrosse or not. This award recognizes either a coaching staff or team as a whole, that goes above and beyond for their community when outside the lines and off the field. This award is a byproduct of the Humanitarian Award, one that has only been awarded 3 times over the years of the convention. This award is presented to the Coaching Staff, rather than the players as the Humanitarian Award had done in previous years.
