Lacrosse is a very specific sport. At the youth level such as PAL a non lacrosse player parent is great. At the travel level and HS level prior college level experience is a must. There is too much going on for someone who has never played the game to pick up. Offenses and defenses get very complex and even though you may think you know it on paper it usually wont translate that easily to the kids on the field. Bottom line do not invest money on any program that is not directly coached by someone who has no college level experience. Just look at all the High Schools, 99% are coached by college experienced players/coaches, it is the price of admission now.
