Mark Buckley has been appointed as the Chair of the newly established England Lacrosse Refereeing Advisory Group.
The Refereeing Advisory Group, working under the guidance of the Officiating Advisory Group and National Lacrosse Committee, has been created to lead on the strategy for the future of refereeing in England.
The new Group will replace the previous Referee and Rules Committee and will provide guidance and expertise on the application of rules for the domestic game, work with regions to promote refereeing across the country, and act as a point of contact for any relevant refereeing issues.
Mark is a highly experienced and well-respected official within the men’s game on a domestic and international level.
He began refereeing in 2011 and, since earning his Level 5 award, has officiated at two senior and one U19 level World Championships. In addition to his success in England, Mark has officiated on both MLL and NCAA in the USA.
Following Mark’s appointment, we are now looking for representatives from the sport in England to join the Advisory Group.
The Group is looking for members from across the wide range of sectors within the game to give the Group the widest spectrum of views possible.
Information on applying to be a part of the Refereeing Advisory Group can be found HERE.
England Lacrosse would also like to take this opportunity to thank Chair of the Referee and Rules Committee, Peter Davidson, for his hard work over the last 10 years.
Since 2010, Peter has been instrumental in the development of Refereeing in England and it would not be in the same position without his hard work and dedication to the cause.
