Referees

Box Referees


Are you involved in lacrosse?
Are you thinking about becoming a referee for lacrosse?
Are you 13 or older (Bantam level age)?


Lacrosse is a tremendous sport that can be officiated for a lifetime and can open up a number of opportunities.
Many referees are former players whose passion for the game didn't end when their playing careers did.

Many continue their involvement in the sport to give back to the next generation of players the benefits and opportunities they received when they were younger.

It also further's your knowledge and respect of the game for kids who are still committed to playing the sport.
We are here to get you involved in this fantastic sport as a referee.


Whether you are a kid playing, or a parent who is looking to be involved, officiating can be for you!
