Memorandum

From:           Roger Pattee – Michigan Lacrosse Officials Association Trainer
Subject:        Boys Lacrosse Officiating Training Class

                All classes will be from 10:00 a.m.  to 1:00 p.m.

We are pleased to announce a training program for boy’s lacrosse consisting of class room activities, on field training and officiating, mentoring, and observation which will prepare you to become an official for the 2009 boy’s lacrosse season. The class room and field activities are an integral part in your progression as a lacrosse official and will be presented and supported by veteran lacrosse officials who are members of MichLOA. After you complete the class room training you will have an opportunity to gain valuable preseason field experience as you shadow a veteran official and later  you will be observed while you assist in officiating games yourself.  This mentoring, observation, and additional training will carry into the regular season as part of a continuing education process as you progress from middle school to high school games.  Rick Jackson, who assigns games at the middle school and high school level for those games in Southeastern Michigan will also participate in these activities. The one time cost for this extensive training is $35 and it includes all printed course materials and annual dues for Michigan Lacrosse Officials Association (”MichLOA”). MichLOA provides all of the in season training, mentoring and on field pre and regular season observation as a benefit to its members.
Upon completion of the class room course, you will have the ability to undertake on field training at All American Lacrosse during its off season indoor program. We are very fortunate that the off season private programs fully support MichLOA’s efforts and desire to train new officials and provide newer officials valuable on field experience.
Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports in the area. You will have an opportunity to participate at all competitive levels of the game and enjoy a flexible schedule. Current officials come from a variety of backgrounds relative to experience as an official or with the game itself. The only true prerequisites are a willingness to prepare and participate, a good attitude, and a desire to give your best effort.
