Thank you for expressing interest in the Greater Philadelphia Lacrosse Officials Association (GPLOA). If you are passionate about the sport of lacrosse and are willing to take the steps to become an official, our association is here to support you.
As an association, we run a training program (see the cadet information indicated below) prior to the start of the season. No experience officiating or with lacrosse is necessary. In the course, we will review the following, lacrosse rules, officiating mechanics, administrative items (insurance, game assignment systems, payment processes, etc.), and general tips for officiating.
2026 Cadet Training Information
The 2026 cadet training for new officials will be live, in-person. We are excited for the new season, and we are excited to help get new officials ready to work on the field with us.
Applicants are now being accepted for the 2026 season. Classes will be held in January and February. Once we have the dates solidified, our team will be in touch.
