Frequently Asked Questions (provided by the OLA)
How old do I have to be to officiate?
The minimum age in all sectors is 14. If you are 14 years old (or you're turning 14 in 2024), you're eligible! If you're younger than 14, get in touch with your lacrosse association about opportunities to begin timekeeping/scorekeeping!
Is certification an annual requirement?
Yes, officials are required to maintain their certification with annual registration and attendance at a clinic.
When and where are the clinics?
We have a number of clinics planned for box, field and women's field this year. If you're interested in joining the team, click on one of the links below to find a date that works for your schedule, and then get registered to secure your spot!
How long are the clinics?
Each clinic for box or field is 10am - 3pm, with sign-in beginning at 9:15am. Late arrivals and early departures are not permitted.
Do I have to be registered or can I just show up to the clinic?
Pre-registration is important for us to be able to plan the number of clinicians and resources for each date. Each clinic closes one week before the date so that we can plan properly. Walk-ups are not permitted.
What do I need to bring to the clinic?
We will supply all the materials for your clinic -- all you need to bring is a pen! Lunch is included in each session.
