Step 1 - Classroom Clinic
All New and Returning officials are required to annually attend a classroom clinic (virtual/online for 2021 and now, 2022). During your classroom session, experienced trainers will review the rules, game management and points of emphasis for the year.
All New Officials must attend the "New Official" Clinic. The New Official clinics will cover an in-depth review of the rules, mechanics and procedures of women's lacrosse. New Officials who register with USALacrosse will receive a USA Lacrosse Women's Rule Book. Clinic fees are $25 per New Official attendee. (Free for Returning Officials).
