The GLOA assigns GHSA varsity and junior varsity boys lacrosse games in the Spring. In addition, we assign numerous middle school and youth leagues as well as high school and youth tournaments in the fall, spring and summer.
GLOA officials are paid at the end of the fall and spring season for games worked after GLOA receives payment from the schools/leagues. Spring Payment general go out first week of June. Fall Payment general go out within the first two weeks of December. Summer and fall tournaments are paid out after the GLOA receives payment from each tournament; general go out 2 to 4 weeks after the tournament is completed.
It is imperative that if your address changes from the last time you received a payment form GLOA that you contact the treasurer with your new address, but please do so via email. It is important that we keep a record of all correspondence.
