Officials Registration Process

This is how registration for the GLOA Spring season works.

Everyone registers here on our new Officials Registration Portal:  Youth officials, transfer officials, rookies and veterans.

There are now two tracks: one for officials who plan to work GHSA games as well as youth lacrosse, and a track for officials who will only work youth lacrosse.

Here you can find details on the 2027 Spring Training Schedule.

GHSA Officials

All adult officials who wish to work GHSA games as well as youth lacrosse this Spring must register with Dragonfly.  It is important that ALL adult officials register promptly with GHSA via Dragonfly so that you are eligible to take the test, work GHSA games, and have access to the online rule book.

This includes:

• • new adult official who has not received any training
  • adult officials transferring from another association
  • returning adult GLOA officials

Here are the DragonFly registration instructions:

• • Instructions for NEW officials registration (those who DO NOT already have a Dragonfly account)
  • Instructions for RETURNING officials registration (those who already have a Dragonfly account)

All GHSA officials are required to pay the GHSA registration fees in DragonFly at the time of registration.

Youth ONLY Officials

All youth officials and any adult official who plans to work youth games must be current USA Lacrosse members.

This includes:

• • Adult officials who plans to only work youth lacrosse
  • All certified youth officials (under 18 and still in high school)

Please note that we DO NOT train youth referees in the Spring. Our next youth officials training will be in the Fall of 2027.  

As always, if you have any questions, contact Clyde Allen at [email protected].

Dragonfly Instructions

GHSA is using the Dragonfly application for registration this year.  In addition to managing registration, the application will be used by GLOA for testing, background checks, and requesting a GHSA Game Pass card (more info below)

Registration of all GHSA officials for the 2027 spring season is currently open.  

NOTE:  DragonFly is currently being used by GLOA ONLY as a GHSA registration tool and to take the NFHS test. We still use Arbiter to assign games.  

Please direct any questions or issue you have to Clyde Allen at [email protected].

The link you will need to begin your DragonFly registration is: https://www.dragonflymax.com/officials

You will first register with Dragonfly as an official, then choose your state association (GHSA), select the sport you wish to officiate, and finally your association (GLOA). 

NOTE: if you register for ALL sports you plan to work at the same time you will NOT be charged additional fees. 

When you have completed these steps, you will be directed to pay the GHSA registration fees as well as any fees for games pass or background checks.  

Glich with Background Checks

Even if you have completed your registration, please log in and make sure you have had your Background Check has been completed!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Officials can easily register for multiple sports.  So if you are already registered for a Fall sport, you may begin the registration process for Lacrosse by clicking Add Another. 

Please complete payment as GLOA is no longer collecting GHSA registration fees or money for annual game passes.
