Mid-America Lacrosse Officials Association

2008 Fees List

As a youth or high school official, you should expect to be paid for your work before the game begins. This allows you to leave quickly after the game. Several schools have their business office issue a check after the game has been played; you should have the opportunity to fill out any forms before the game begins. For college games, the officials receive checks from the league several times a season.

The referee should contact the home coach to confirm the time and location of your game one or two days in advance and contact his partner(s).

For high school games, the home team coach is required to contact both the assignor and the officials by noon if a game is cancelled. If you show up for a game you confirmed and you were not notified of a cancellation by noon of that day, you should expect to be paid by the home team.

If a game is stopped in progress due to weather conditions or other reasons, the officials are still to be paid. This is another reason to get your payment before the game begins.  If the game continues at a later time, the referees still “own” that game.  No additional pay is expected.
