Officials at every level must complete recertification requirements each season to prove their knowledge of the officiating, stay current on rules changes and continue their development as an official. Your 2025 USA Lacrosse Official’s Annual Certification will be available in December through your USA Lacrosse account using the transcript button. We will update this post as soon as details are announced. In addition to the required courses for your Annual Certification, which are free to members, you have the opportunity for supplemental learning pathways with our Apprentice and Advanced Modules. These optional upgrades can be found in your transcript. - Active USA Lacrosse Membership with Official participation (if you’re not listed as an official you won’t see the options to take these tests)
- Annual Professional Development Course Completion
- Annual Online Rules Exams (Youth and NFHS)
Learn how to access required elements via our E-Learning overview page and you can find more info here.
Note: You do not need to send your trainer your scores!
