Updated: 02.19.2008
March 2, 10 AM - 3 PM (Check in at 9:30)
Oregon Food Bank - North Portland
OWLUA is putting on a third clinic this year for those under 18 years old. These clinics are for "Junior Umpires-to-be", and for adults who will umpire Youth games only.

Check in at 9:30, with the clinic running 10-3. There will be approx. an hour lunch break. Lunch is 'on your own'. Pre-registration fee is $25. On-site fee is $30.

Attendees who are already a US Lacrosse member will need to bring their member # so we can register them as an 'umpire' through our board. No additional fee to USLA is required. Coaches who are already a USLA member will NOT be issued a rule book, as they get one from USLA as part of their membership.

This is a great opportunity for high schoolers to earn extra money and increase their game knowledge! (NOTE: Umpires must be 2 years older than the group they ref.) More info at owlua@msn.com. Flyer.
