The 3rd Team on the Field
This 35-minute video was created by U.S. Lacrosse to help new and prospective men’s lacrosse officials pursue the avocation. Written mostly by Rod Korba, a longtime referee and past men’s lacrosse division president, the video goes through the definition of the avocation, the importance of good officials and the code by which referees abide. Communication with players, coaches and other officials and game preparation are also emphasized. The basic rules of lacrosse are outlined, and safety and sportsmanship are stressed.
