LEARN. PRACTICE. CERTIFY.
Whether you're starting out or advancing to higher levels, our structured programs ensure you're ready to step confidently on the field.
NCLRA provides comprehensive training for individuals interested in becoming certified boys lacrosse officials. Whether you’re looking to officiate at the Youth or High School level, we offer structured training programs, ongoing mentorship, and certification support to help you succeed on the field.
All NCLRA officials must complete the California Interscholastic Federation’s required 18 hours of training and pass the certification tests for their level. These training sessions include rule updates, mechanics, safety protocols, and test preparation. Level 1 officials also participate in live, on-field instruction.
