Thanks for your interest in Officiating. There are a few things you need to do begin the process.

1- Complete a Non-Athlete Registration form which you can return to Keith Green.

6 - Shadow Six Seasons with an Experienced Stroke and Turn Official. Please come to deck wearing Blue Pants/Shorts, White Gold Shirt, and White Sneakers. Generally you may attend any session at a LIAC meet which is not a Championship meet. If you would like to shadow at another meet please let me know and I can arrange that.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any other questions. I look forward to meeting you on deck.

Thanks
Rich Brown
