Returning Officials- The Checklist
Below are the things all returning officials need to do so they are eligible to officiate games.
1. Renew WALOA Membership
All officials in Washington state must be members of the WALOA group.
WALOA provides education and certification in accordance with US Lacrosse guidelines.
Returning officials need to complete the WALOA renewal process at the Arbiter website. Please make sure your information is up to date (cell phone!), and make sure to set up any blocks for the upcoming season.

2. Complete US Lacrosse Online Education
All returning officials must take and pass an annual Rules Exam.
Make sure to take the test(s) for the level you will be working- youth Games or HS Games.
US Lacrosse may also require an annual Rules refresher course- this provides information on changes to rules and points of emphasis for the upcoming season.

3. Attend annual classroom training.
US Lacrosse requires all officials to attend annual classroom/field training.
