Hello Stripes,
Like you… I cannot wait to get back out on to a Lacrosse Field! Unlike previous years, this year will be a sprint instead of a marathon.
In preparation for the Spring High School & Youth Boys Season, here is where we are…
The state HS season begins on April 11th and will end on June 3. Followed by the Playoffs and Championship Saturday on June 19 .
The BVLA, MAYLA Youth will be starting in mid-April and concluding in mid-June. Badgerland Youth will be starting on May 1 and going through mid-June.
Between April 14 – June 19 there will be a lot of games in Wisconsin. There will be games (weather permitting) just about (weekends included) every day.
TRAINING DATES ARE SET, Paul Espinosa will lead the trainings for Wisconsin. THANK YOU, Paul!
Virtual training will take place on Sunday nights from 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm beginning March 7 and ending on April 11 with NO training session on Easter (4/4)
Field Training for the BVLA is scheduled for Saturday, April 10, with time and location TBD. MAYLA and Badgerland are still being determined.

Youth training day will be virtual on Sunday, March 21. Time is TBD, plan for about 4 hours. If you go through the high school training you don’t need to attend the youth training, but if you only plan to work youth games then you should plan to attend this training. All high school age kids that plan on Officiating this season will attend this training, but are welcome (and encouraged) to listen in on the HS Training on Sunday nights.
Please make sure your US Lacrosse and WILOA memberships are up to date. The US Lacrosse test is available and must be completed before the start of the season and can be found on the US Lacrosse website along with many helpful videos. I would recommend watching the rules interpretation video before taking the test.
Finally, if you know of anyone that would be good at Officiating… please help recruit them! We will always need more good Officials.
On behalf of the Trainers and Assignors… Thanks for the work and dedication. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
See you on a field somewhere,
