GLOA

The Georgia Lacrosse Officials Association (GLOA) was founded in 2002 by a number of lacrosse enthusiasts in Atlanta in an effort to promote lacrosse officiating in North Georgia.

GLOA has four main goals:

1. To provide game officials for the sport of men's lacrosse, primarily at the high school level, in the State of Georgia.
2. To instruct and educate players, coaches, parents, and fans of the sport of lacrosse and the rules governing play.
3. To train, educate, and certify persons for officiating the sport of men's lacrosse.
4. To promote the growth and development of the sport of lacrosse in the State of Georgia.

GLOA members officiate both Georgia High School Association (GHSA) contests and boys youth lacrosse games in Georgia. GLOA Members are independent contractors.

On our web site, you will find information about becoming an adult lacrosse official for GHSA games, US Lacrosse Level 1 training for boys youth lacrosse, requesting our officiating services for your league or tournament, and how to contact our association.

There is a serious shortage of officials at all levels of the game in Georgia. If you are interested, please contact us. Thanks for visiting GALAXREF.com!

The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) has released several rules updates for 2010.  More information can be found on the NFHS Website.
