Minnesota Lax Hub

Level 1 Training
Level 1 Training is required for all new officials. You must be at least a high school freshman to take the class. People completing all requirements will be able to officiate youth games (freshmen can officiate 3/4 and 5/6 games; older officials can work 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 games).

Level 2 Training
Level 2 Training is required for all adults and high school seniors. Level 1 classes must be completed prior to taking the Level 2 class (although you need not have completed all of the course requirements for Level 1). Adults completing all requirements will be eligible to officiate games at the high school varsity level and lower, while high school seniors will be able to officiate high school freshman (9/10) games and youth games.

Course fees are $149 for Level 1, $99 for Level 2, and $199 for both Level 1 and Level 2. The Level 1 course fees include almost all uniform and equipment (you'll need your own black shoes and black belt) and Level 2 fees include a 20-second timer, which is required for Level 2 games.

Prior to registration, you must join US Lacrosse as a men's official in District 7 by going to http://www.uslacrosse.org/TopNav/Membership/USLacrosseMembership.aspx (if you are already a member but not as a men's official with an expiration date of 9/30/2012, you will need to contact US Lacrosse at 410.235.6882 ext. 102).

If you intend to register for the class, please email UMLOA Training Coordinator Russ Ramsay at umloatrainingcord@gmail.com with your name and contact info. He will send you registration details when they become available.
