ON-LINE TESTS NOW AVAILABLE
The NFHS and NCAA tests administered by US Lacrosse are now live on www.uslacrosse.org. Officials can access the tests by going to:
http://www.uslacrosse.org/TopNav2Left/Officials/MensOfficialsInformation/AnnualTesting.aspx
A couple of things to keep in mind:
- Officials must have a current US Lacrosse membership in order to take the test.
- Level 1 officials must score an 80 or above to count towards their certification.
- Level 2 and 3 officials must score a 90 or above to count towards their certification.
- An official’s first
score over 80 will be the one recorded and saved with their US Lacrosse
record.
- Officials may retake the tests as many times as they wish but only
their FIRST score over 80 will be recorded.
- Any score below 80 will not be reported.
WALOA Officials should select 'WALOA' as their association to make it easier for our trainers to find your test scores. Once you take the test, please also email your results to askwaloa@hotmail.com.
