England Lacrosse is delighted to announce a brand new level 1 box lacrosse officiating qualification absolutely free of charge for a limited time only.
Taking place in January 2024, the qualification can be undertaken by anyone with a valid England Lacrosse membership with no field officiating qualification necessary.
For a person to receive the full level 1 box lacrosse officiating qualification, they must attend two webinars taking place on Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 January 2024; both webinars will start at 7:30pm and finish at 9:30pm.
The qualification comes just under a year before the 2024 World Lacrosse Box Championships that will see a men’s and women’s competition run concurrently for the first time in history.
England will be sending both a men’s and women’s side with the men’s team looking to continue their run of good form after a fourth place finish at the last World Championship in 2019 and a European Gold in 2022.
And with box lacrosse in England growing exponentially over the past few years, the game is looking to grow the pool of officials who are eligible to officiate box lacrosse in England, with the intention of developing these individuals at future league matches and regional/national squad training sessions.
All training and development will be done by experienced referees at the training days. This course covers both Men's and Women's box lacrosse, with all qualified officials being able to officiate both of these games upon completion of the two webinars.

Please note, all training and development will be done by qualified box referees at the training days, the course covers both men's and women's box lacrosse, and no kit will be provided for attending or completing the qualification.
