In addition to the extensive ratings and umpire development structure currently in place by the Women’s Game Officials Sub-Committee, US Lacrosse and the WGOSC have developed new USL sponsored umpire rating and training clinics.
US Lacrosse has also defined and established a list of approved District Rating events and clinics that women’s game umpires can attend in order to pursue their District Rating.
Along with the District Rating Events, US Lacrosse and the WGOSC have established both a developmental clinic and LEAD (
Local
Enrichment
And
Development) training for women’s game umpires.

LEAD Training
LEAD training is for the Umpire who has at least one season under his/her belt, and really wants to get their two-person game to be the best it can possibly be. This is also a great opportunity for umpires who may not want to achieve a District rating, but who would like to participate in professional growth and development that is specific to the youth game and two-person mechanic officiating.
