Here is the schedule. Returning umpires need only attend the rules interpretation and a breakout session for recertification. A returning umpire need only to attend a field evaluation (rating event) if his or her rating will lapse before or during the season. Returning officials do not need to attend New Umpire Orientation, though newer officials may find if helpful.

Online Training for the 2021 Season

02/08/2021

The Kentucky Lacrosse Umpires Board (KLUB) is tasked by US Lacrosse to provide training that will lead to certification as a US Lacrosse Girls' Umpire in Kentucky. First, KLUB has provided new umpire orientation and all umpire training throuogh ZOOM meetings. These meetings have taken place, but the recordings of these meeting may be viewed here (please excuse the poor video and narration quality (coughing due to COVID):

If you wish to have the PowerPoint presentation files they are available here as well:

The US Lacrosse Girls' Umpires online training courses are being used this year for KLUB training. Umpires have until the end of the month to complete their specific track and pass the test. First or second year official will need to take the Level 1 Track. All others must take the Level 2/3 track. All Umpires will need to take the online rules course, the five or six courses included with each track, the HS as well as the Youth rules interpretations courses, and the 2021 Girls Youth and High School Rules Exam (only one exam). For most it has been nearly two years since any of us have had games so it is vital to watch and take in as much as you can.

If you have any issues with logging in or your courses the number to call at US Lacrosse is: 410-235-6882, x102 (member services).

Rating Day will be February 28 at Sacred Heart Academy in Louisville. Hopefully, KLUB will conduct ratings (field evaluations) on the two grass fields (the smaller Brescia grass fields used for Braveheart). If weather is an issue ratings (field evaluations) will be on the turf field. We are going to attempt to possibly have one field worked by a 3-person crew with the other one a 2-person crew.

For those taking the Level 2/3 track there is an online course on 3-person crew mechanics. Level 2 and Level 3 umpires must be familiar with 3 person crew mechanics, because these umpires will have the opportunity to attempt a Level 3 rating.

If anyone has any restrictions for February 28 let Chris Niblock (see contact information below) know ASAP!

Here is how to get to your video tracks:

Go to USLacrosse.org.
Log in
Go to the hamburger in the upper left and pull that down.
Go to eLearning
That will take you to the eLearning site. There is a "rotating menu" across the top above the usual entries of "Catalogue" "Resume Courses" etc.
On the rotating menu there is "Girls Lacrosse Officials" with a picture and lots of information. Click on that.
This takes you to the Rules Exams.
On the upper right hand corner there are some tags. Click on "#2021 ODPLearning"
Then click on "Officials"
Then click on "3 - Women's Game Officials"
Then choose either Level 1 or Level 2/3 as instructed

US Lacrosse has assured KLUB that attendance reports for individual videos can be reported to KLUB. KLUB leadership will ask for this report.

Here are the direct links - you still have to log in.

Both tracks have...

The online rules course
The learning courses for that track
The annual rules interpretation videos
The required exam (combined Girls Youth and High School Rules Exam)

IN ORDER TO BE CERTIFIED FOR THIS YEAR YOU MUST COMPLETE ALL OF THE TRAINING VIDEOS AND TAKE THE YOUTH/HS COMBINED TEST.

YOU MAY NEED TO RENEW YOUR RATING OR BE RATED FOR THE FIRST TIME. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.
