Instructor:  Mary Lou Thimas

Time: 4-6pm

Experienced Officials teach the classes to review new rules, discuss interpretation of the rules, discuss special game situations, and demonstrate positioning techniques to improve your officiating skills. Instructors welcome your questions and provide guidance with game situations you may have encountered during a previous game.

Invest 2 hours of your time to enhance your officiating skills and provide players with a safe fun game of lacrosse!

Umpires attending the refresher classes should bring writing materials, rule book and have read the manual prior to the clinic. If the weather is good be prepared to go outside for a brief period of time. Classrooms will be posted at the entrance to each site.
