Due to the on-going Covid-19 pandemic, the GLOA board has decided to hold all training events this January virtually. All adult officials must attend these sessions, complete the GHSA online-clinic, and pass the GHSA rules test.
Youth officials and adults who wish to only officiate youth contests must be US Lacrosse members and complete all USL requirements.
Please share this information with anyone who is interested in officiating boys lacrosse this spring!
In order to receive the zoom link for each session, it is imperative that officials register with GLOA (see below).
