Syracuse Board of Women's Lacrosse Officials
About Us
Become a Referee!
The Central New York Board of Women’s Lacrosse Officials (CNYBWLO) is the local or "Syracuse" chapter of the New York State Association of Certified Lacrosse Officials. The CNYBWLO procures training and certification of new officials while providing ongoing recertification and training for veteran lacrosse referees. The CNYBWLO’s goal is to provide Central New York with referees that are both competent and foster a high standard of ethics and integrity.
The CNYBWLO services girls’ lacrosse for Section III schools under the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. The CNYBWLO is also the sole provider of lacrosse referees for all girl’s summer leagues, winter leagues, and tournaments that take place year-round in Central New York.
We also offer training through our Junior Official Training Program that allows individuals who are heading into their junior year of high school (and older) to become certified to officiate summer league youth lacrosse.
We want you to join! We are always looking to add new officials. Please click the “Contact Us” tab, let us know which program you're interested in, and we will contact you as soon as possible.
We are excited for you to join the fastest growing sport in the United States by becoming a girl’s lacrosse official!
