You can start officiating games this spring if you join the Eastern Massachusetts Lacrosse Officials Association (EMLOA).
Officiating is a rewarding experience. You can get some exercise, help kids learn how to play the game, and make some pretty good cash.
Here is information from the EMLOA website
The EMLOA is offering trainings starting the last week of January. There is a mandatory clinic for all EMLOA members on Sunday, March 7th. All new candidates must attend this as well. All new members are subject to a CORI criminal record check. This is mandatory.
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. Contact Matt Croteau if you are interested.

EMLOA will be holding Classes for new candidates starting the last week of January, 2010. The classes are held at 3 separate locations and the same material is presented at each site.
