Referees & TimeKeepers

The Greater Sudbury Lacrosse Association requires Officials and Timekeepers for our Box House and Rep Games.

We are committed to developing an excellent group of officials for league and in house games. We want to partner and assist each of you so that officials in Greater Sudbury officiating crews are recognized for their excellence.

Referee Application

In order to become a referee, you must attend the OLA Referee clinics annually. There is a clinic fee, which must be paid by the applicant. Registration information can be found by clicking here.

Supervisions and an open dialogue are kept with the OIC and fellow officials in order to provide support and guidance as you grow in the role.
