Any individual in their 12th year of age or older, is eligible to apply to become an official with Semiahmoo
Minor Lacrosse. Preference will be given to the younger applicants, as they are not enticed by the part-time job
market that provides so many opportunities for youth 15 years and older. It takes a good 2-3 years to train a
referee to a level where they are comfortable and confident. Our objective is to train and retain our officials
for the long run, so in the future, we have adequate staffing for the more difficult levels of Bantam and Midget.
With declining registration, especially at the Mini-Tyke and Tyke level, we need to utilize a process to select
the small number from the applicants.
Again this year, we will require all interested to attend an information meeting at which they will be issued
a Lacrosse Rulebook / Situation Handbook. They will be given 1 week to study the rules, and will be required to
attend a subsequent meeting to complete a basic written test on the rules for their appropriate level.
The results of this quiz will be used to assist in the selection of this year’s new Referees.
Interested applicants should immediately e-mail
Curtis Robinson (cl.rob@telus.net)
with
their name, age, home phone number, and any experience you may have officiating other sports. You will
immediately receive a reply that I have your application. After this we will establish a date for the testing
mentioned before. We will endeavour to have the selection process completed by the end of February.
