Below is the list of planned member meetings, MHSAA meetings and training sessions for the upcoming 2022 lacrosse season.

In order to be considered a member in good standing with MichLOA, each member must be credited with six hours of continuing education annually. Additionally, this six hours of training is a requirement to be eligible for MHSAA tournament assignment consideration.

For new officials, the new official training does not count toward this six hour per year requirement.

2022 Training Plan Dates have not yet been established



2021 Modified Training Plan 

MichLOA will be going to a virtual learning approach in preparation for the upcoming season and as the means to fulfill your continued education requirement to be a member in good standing ("MIGS"). 
 
We will be using the US Lacrosse Certification process as the means to accomplish this, so if you have not done so already, it is critical that you register with USL as a boy's official.
 
Please note the deadline to complete the continuing education requirement is 3/19/2021.

In short:  MichLOA officials will need complete the US Lacrosse level 2/3 certification program.  Directions were sent to all MichLOA members via email on 2/12/2021.   
.
Outlined below are the steps to access the 2021 training:

 Once you log into your US Lacrosse account, go to the upper left corner, and open E-Learning
  •  After opening E-Learning, open the Catalog
  • Then open the “Officials” folder 
  • Then open “Men's Game Officials” folder 
  • ​Next, enroll in Level 2/3 - Boy's Officials Annual Learning 
  • This will bring you to the Course Content area which shows the curriculum for a Level 2/3 certification from USL.  Note that MichLOA is somewhat mirroring the USL certification requirements, with the following exceptions:
    •  ​​While USL wants you to take 4 of the annual learning courses, we strongly suggest you take them all since we use both two and three man mechanics. Each of the courses therein is 30 minutes in length.
    • While USL wants you to take one of the Rules Interpretation Courses we strongly suggest you take both the Youth and Boys NFHS sessions.  If you only take one it should be the Boys NFHS Rules Interpretation session.
    • The Exam you take should be the 2021 Youth and High School Rules Exam. 
Note:  These exceptions will become clear as you review the course content information.
  • Complete the level 2/3 certification requirements by 3/19/2021
