You are certified through January.
Each spring you will need to recertify by:
- renewing your USAL membership.
- take the latest NFHS and Youth tests (NOTE: You do not need to send your scores to the trainer!)
- watching the latest rules videos.
- Youth officials need to attending the free GLOA recertification zoom call (date and time TBD; always posted on galaxref.com)
- Adult officials should plan to attend the in-person training sessions in January (NOTE: they do not need to attend the Youth zoom call)
If you DO NOT COMPLETE these you will need to start over in the Fall!
NFHS Rule Book
USA Lacrosse Officials will be offered the FREE NFHS rulebook in the membership check-out process.
- If you are paying your membership dues by auto-renewal, you will receive an email with instructions.
GLOA Website
Be sure to check galaxref.com regularly for updates. I will post rules changes, rules video, NFHS memos, etc over the course of the season.
You can also follow us on social media: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Youtube.
Keep Working
You must continue to put work into being a referee by staying in the rule book and the mechanics manual, working games and asking questions. Remember, this is the beginning of your training not the end of it!
As always if you have questions, please reach out to your trainer.
