Girls Officials Policy

The higher solo fee is for games where a 2nd official is unexpectedly not available. Programs may not intentionally let games be officiated by a solo official. Officials ratings (Adult HS Ref or Adult Youth Ref) are identified in the CONNY Game Detail page and in Arbiter.

Referee Requirements

• 14U Transitional Checking – 2 adult HS officials
• 14U & 12U Modified Checking – 1 adult ref (HS or adult youth) and one junior ref
• 10U and 8U games – 2 junior refs or 1 adult ref

2 adult referees will be automatically assigned to all games between 14U Tier 1 teams, as these games are played with Transitional Checking rules. Towns can request 2 adult rated refs for any games (at least one week ahead) and the assignor will make best efforts to assign 2 adults. All officials must be USAL certified.

Junior Referee Requirement

CONNY and US Lacrosse policy prohibits junior referees from officiating a game solo. This risk management policy protects junior officials and programs from unnecessary liability in case of an accident.

Payment of Officials

Towns are responsible for paying their refs at the game (by cash or check) or by mail within 2 weeks of the game date.

Adult Referee Scheduling

The Officials Assignor will assign the appropriate adult rated and adult youth refs through Arbiter for each 14U and 12U game entered on the CONNY site. Towns have the option to obtain adult referees on their own, and may request adults for 10U and 8U games as needed.

Junior Referee Scheduling

Towns are responsible for scheduling junior refs for home games. If a town cannot find a junior ref, they must notify the assignor, preferably at least one week ahead. Towns are encouraged to share junior refs with neighboring towns.
