Nova Scotia Lacrosse Officials Association

Time for the 2024 NSLOA AGM - if you completed a clinic in 2024 we encourage you to attend.

Heat Warnings back in place for HRM. Modified game formats continue until warnings lifted starting July 12 mmll.ca/article/96003 @smbstorm @Breakers_lax @wolveslacrosse1 @DartBanditsLAX @hfxlax

RAMP Gamesheet app was not working very well on Saturday. Please check your games today and ensure results are consistent with what you saw. Sign yer Gamesheets!

Been a rough week for minor lacrosse in Halifax. There have been multiple incidents with verbal abuse directed at on-floor officials, timekeepers and scorers. It would be sad to see the sport go the way of minor basketball and have to have some spectator free games #norefnogame

Congratulations to our own Morgan Faircloth for being awarded the Official of the Year at the 2024 Support4Sport awards!

Amateur sports are facing a troubling decline in the number of officials. To tackle this issue, eight Provincial Sport Organizations in Nova Scotia have united to combat official abuse in sport by introducing the 'Green Armband Initiative'.  #RespectTheGame

@LacrosseNS Congratulations to all the players. Moving we're especially proud as so many of these players are also officials! Playing and growing the game at the same time.
