Lacrosse 2025 is in the Books!

Congratulations to athletes, teams and officials on an exciting season.  Our officials have worked hard through the season to put their best game on the field.  There is plenty of summer play around so think about keeping your whistle sharp with some of these opportunities.

Congratulations to officials working the Tournament and to the Champions and Runners' Up. 

A number of officials worked our playoffs games.  We do strive to get many eligible officials on the games.

Interested in College Officiating or 3 Person Training?

The CWLOA is looking to recruit new college officials through training during IWLCA summer play.  If you have an interest in officiating at the college level and/or want some training for the mechanics of 3 person officiating check this out.   The Amherst, MA location is well organized and run or maybe you're up for a road trip to somewhere new this summer.  Click the link below for additional information on signing up.  

IWLCA Summer Play 2025 How to Join CWLOA

A number of officials on our board are college officials so feel free to reach out to them or contact Linda if you have questions.  Dave Shiffman, who is the Regional CWLOA coordinator, can be reached at alexanderhouse@hotmail.com if you have specific questions about the training.  If you have at least 2-3 years of Varsity experience, we hope you'll give this some consideration.  

Are You Interested in Becoming an Official? 

Training for the current season has ended but we always welcome your interest.  There may be some summer opportunities for training.  Our usual trainings take place in January and February. 

Sign up today to reserve your spot!

If you  or anyone you know is interested in becoming an official, please have complete the New Official’s Form.  The cost of the training is $100, which covers training, a rule book, whistle, cards and a flag to get you started in the game, along with your NHWLUA membership.  

Officiating is a great way to stay in the game, keep in shape and get paid for doing a job you'll love doing.  You will find it to be an exciting way to give back to the game.   Jackie Driscoll, our Training Chair, will be contacting our new candidates and can be reached at jbdrisc@comcast.net.
