International Officials 

The IOC is the organization of lacrosse officials for men’s lacrosse for international lacrosse competition. The IOC’s primary purpose is to support the promotion of international lacrosse by providing officials from the United States to participate in international events.

Membership in the IOC is open to all officials who are members of US Lacrosse, who have participated in international lacrosse competition as an official or as an assessor, or who indicate a desire to be a member.

The IOC provides training, services, and representation in the international community and provides all U.S. international officials a forum in which to raise and address their ideas and concerns.

For questions about international officiating, please contact Tom Sutton, Men’s Game Officials Subcommittee Chair or Stephen Berger, US Lacrosse Men’s Game Director.
