See the information below about the upcoming Zoom meeting training to become a Lacrosse official.  Prior to the classes I would ask that you go to www.uslacrosse.org and sign up to become an official.  They will ask you what association you want to be affiliated with select heartland area lacrosse officials(HALO).  Also after you create an account and pay the online yearly dues please check out the video section on youth boys lacrosse this is where you will start officiating games at this level.  Please let me know if you have any questions and reply to me that you are interested in becoming an official this way I can get you on the schedule this season provided you sign up and take the training.  We will schedule on field training as soon as we can get a field and teams to set up a scrimmage prior to the season.
