Service to your Local Board: Points Summary

The Women’s Division Officials Council (WDOC) states that every US Lacrosse rated umpire is required to provide annual service to their local board to be a member in good standing (see the Umpire Manual, Section 10).

The following are approved service opportunities with appropriate points for WWLUA umpires. Each service opportunity is labeled by rating – Junior (J), Apprentice (A), Local (L), District (D), and National (N) – and you must hold that rating to be able to earn that service. Each umpire must earn a minimum of 4 points each year to be a member in good standing.

To report your service, you must email service@wwlua.org and "cc" the umpire who can affirm your service. WWLUA will then confirm the points you have earned, subject to meeting the guidelines for service.
