Game speed doesn’t change the rules - your decisions have to keep up.

Personal vs technical isn’t just terminology… it’s player safety vs game flow.

Good officials don’t guess.
They recognize, decide, and act without hesitation.

Stay disciplined. Stay aware. Stay ready. 🦓🥍

Understanding the game starts with understanding the rules.

A slash isn’t just any stick contact - it’s about force, control, and where the check is delivered. Consistent judgment is what keeps the game safe and fair.

Most fans see one official.
Varsity lacrosse actually uses three.
Lead. Trail. Single.

Each official watches a different part of the field so the game stays safe, fair, and under control.

Understanding the crew helps players, coaches, and fans better understand the game. 🥍🦓

Rooted long before rulebooks.
Built on respect before whistles.

Lacrosse officiating didn’t begin with stripes - it began with elders, honor, and responsibility.

From ceremonial games lasting days to modern contests played at full speed, the role of the official has always been the same - protect the game, protect the players, uphold integrity.

Tradition matters.
Officials matter. 🥍🖤🔥

Growing the game of lacrosse takes more than talent 🥍
