history

purpose

history

The organization was established in the mid 1990's and later incorporated as WWLOA. During the past several decades, WWLOA has trained hundreds of officials and these officials have officiated thousands of women’s lacrosse games.

SPIRIT OF THE GAME

WWLOA believes in safe, fun and competitive play

WWLOA recognizes that women’s lacrosse players are allowed to play with passion, speed, and intensity. At the same time, WWLOA reminds players that their conduct on the field should comply with the rules and be consistent with the “spirit of the game”.


US Lacrosse has established a philosophy to maintain the “spirit of the game”. This philosophy is stated in the US Lacrosse Women’s Rule Book and states that “players…should observe the intent of the rules, making a sincere effort to observe them and not attempting to take advantage of them”.  Also, “players…should be vigilant when…playing…so that the safety of all players and the integrity of the game are maintained”.


wwloa diversity, equity, & inclusion statement

WWLOA is committed to the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion within its membership and within the broader Lacrosse community. 


WWLOA respects, values, and celebrates the positive impact that people of diverse backgrounds and perspectives coming together in an inclusive and collaborative environment bring to our sport, enhancing the experience for all involved. 


We seek to “honor the game” by establishing and maintaining an inclusive culture that encourages understanding, appreciation, and acceptance of all participants in the Lacrosse community. 

wwloa professional development commitment

WWLOA supports officials seeking additional training outside our region.


WWLOA may offer stipends for clinic fees or travel expenses incurred for additional training. This will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. 


Upon approval, stipends will be issued after participation in the clinic is concluded and receipt(s) of paid travel or clinic fees are provided to the Board Chair. 


Any financial hardship considerations can be shared with the Board Chair. Please email the Board chair at wwloaboardchair@gmail.com if you are interested in seeking financial support / a training stipend for additional officials' training.
