SCCLA is looking for Referees
Lacrosse is one of the nation’s fastest-growing team sports and the need for qualified officials has never been higher. Joining the third team on the field is a perfect way for former players to stay involved in the game and find great camaraderie.
Even if you’ve never played, SCCLA can provide training opportunities to become certified to referee lacrosse games. This is a great opportunity for high schoolers to give back to lacrosse and to make money at the same time. If interested, email info@scclax.org for more details.
