Here is an unsolicited endorsement for GLLOA's training effort:
During the offseason I moved back to Nebraska and took a job at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

I would like to thank all of you for the excellent training and opportunities that I received while I was a member of GLLOA, an organization that is easily the most efficient and well-organized officiating organization that I have been a part of in any sport.   I especially appreciated the extra efforts that were made in regards to training new officials as I benefited greatly from them.  I have joined the local lacrosse group here in Omaha (OMALAX) and I'm registered to officiate this spring in an effort to help to grow the sport in the Omaha area.   I never played lacrosse and had never watched a game until I began officiating last spring, but thanks to the positive experience I had working games in the Chicago area, I am hooked and plan to continue to be involved with the sport for a long time to come.
Thanks again for all of your help and support last year and best of luck in the future! February 24, 2009.
