About STXZ

STXZ is a technology platform that connects families with independent lacrosse coaches across the United States. We send you clients in your area, handle the administrative work, and get out of your way so you can coach. If you have lacrosse experience and want coaching work on a flexible schedule, this is for you.

How it works

When a family near Grand Rapids requests lessons through STXZ, we send you a client offer with the details. You review it and decide whether to take it. No quotas, no pressure, no penalty for declining.

When you accept:

• You contact the client directly within 24 hours
• You and the client agree on schedule and location: their home, a local field, a park, your call
• You run the session your way. Drills, pacing, and structure are your professional judgment
• You submit a quick lesson briefing on the platform after the session
• You get paid

STXZ never tells you how to coach, what drills to use, or how to structure your lessons.

What you earn

• $35 to $50 per one-hour session, paid as a flat per-lesson rate. Rates are set by STXZ, vary by market and demand, and are confirmed in writing before your first lesson.
• Payout within 24 to 48 hours after you submit your lesson briefing, via PayPal
• 1099-NEC issued at year end if you earn $2,000 or more through the platform
• Paid per completed session. Lesson volume depends on client demand in your area, and STXZ does not guarantee a minimum number of lessons.
• No fee to apply, and nothing to pay up front

Schedule

Most lessons run weekday afternoons and evenings and on weekends. Work when you want and pause your availability anytime.

What you control

• Your schedule. Accept or decline every offer without penalty or impact on your standing.
• Your methods. Drills, lesson plans, teaching style, all yours.
• Your territory. Set your own travel radius, from a few miles to 35 or more.
• Your approach. You decide what equipment to bring to each session.

What STXZ handles

• Client acquisition. We market the platform and bring families to you.
• Matching. We send you local client offers that fit your profile.
• Payment processing. We collect from clients and pay you after each session.
• Billing, refunds, and disputes. Our support team handles all of it. You coach.
• Liability coverage. Active coaches are enrolled in STXZ's platform liability coverage program for sessions booked through STXZ. The program fee is $30 per year, and it is $0 down: nothing is due to get started or to begin receiving client offers. The fee is recovered from your first lesson payout once you start coaching. This is limited coverage for platform-booked sessions only; independent coaches may also choose to carry their own personal insurance.

Who this is for

• Coaching experience at the youth, high school, club, or college level, or playing experience at the high school varsity, club, college, or professional level
• 18 or older
• Legal authorization to work in the United States
• Willing to complete a third-party background check, arranged by STXZ, before receiving full client details
• Reliable transportation to training locations in your area
• Your own stick and basic training equipment: cones, balls, training aids
• Strong communication with parents, players, and the STXZ team
• Professionalism and confidence working independently with families and youth athletes

How to apply

Apply here (about 2 minutes). If your background fits, we send a short coaching profile questionnaire: playing history, coaching experience, positions, availability. After review and background screening, approved coaches start receiving local client offers.
