NEW CANDIDATE TRAINING
The information on the EMLOA training classes for the 2010 season is as follows:
1. EMLOA is one of the premier officiating organizations in the United States. We have several top level college officials on our board and these officials have helped design a training paradigm that will introduce you to the sport of lacrosse from an officials’ view. This training will give you a working knowledge of the rules and mechanics that will help you become a high school lacrosse official.
2. Each candidate must attend all four weeks of training classes. The classes are comprised of rules, mechanics, situations, review and finally a closed book, multiple choice test. The classes run from 6:30 to approximately 9PM.
3. The classes will be held at the following sites on the following dates:
-Holliston High School (Mondays) – Jan 25th, Feb 1nd, Feb 8th, Feb 22rd
**(no classes on Feb 15th at Holliston only due to school vacation)**
-Mass Maritime Academy (Wednesdays) – Jan 27th, Feb 3th, Feb 10th, Feb 17th
-Endicott College (Thursdays) – Jan 28th, Feb 4th, Feb 11th, Feb 18th
4. If you have a conflict and cannot attend a training session one week, you can attend another site that same week and sit in on that training session as all sites follow an agenda and the same curriculum is taught at each site. You are responsible for attending all training classes. We cannot accommodate those who miss classes!
5. There is a mandatory clinic for all EMLOA members on Sunday, March 7th. All new candidates must attend this as well.
6. All new members are subject to a CORI criminal record check. This is mandatory.
7. Cost for first year officials is $275. This includes dues ($85 – required of all EMLOA members), training class fee ($75) and a starter uniform package ($115). If you are a football official with clean uniforms, you can subtract the cost of the starter package and substitute your football shirt and hat and get the rest of the gear on your own.
8. Anyone interested in officiating youth lacrosse only, please contact Mike Williamson at mwilliamson@wheelock.edu.
