Mid-America Lacrosse Officials Association

MALOA serves the St. Louis metro and mid-Missouri lacrosse community in an officiating role. We strive to better lax thru rules knowledge and game management!

@DanLeff4 @Carmen_McDowell I think MSHSAA is the way to revitalize HS lacrosse in MO. Public ADs promoting the game instead of steering kids to other activities.

If LAKC+MSLA will grow the game in the meantime, we’re all for it. However, in STL, some programs can’t afford the +travel $ and would struggle

[Mid-America Lacrosse Officials Association @MALOARefs]

@DanLeff4 Wouldn’t you rather just encourage kids to play? Step 1: be an advocate for the game by increasing participation.

[Mid-America Lacrosse Officials Association @MALOARefs]

@PrioryLacrosse @MOLacrosse @USALacrosseSTL @UltimateLaxSTL Maybe that is an answer 🤷🏻‍♂️. Whatever it takes to grow the game, add depth to the talent pool, spark excitement in prospective players, and create better, lasting competition for the current and next generation of players.

[Mid-America Lacrosse Officials Association @MALOARefs]

How can we shock life into the HS lacrosse scene in Missouri, and STL specifically…
Utah - population 3.3mil
MO - population 6.2 mil

Utah varsity teams - 63
Missouri - 37ish w/ KC Mo

Utah - founded in ‘94
MO- founded in ‘92

[Mid-America Lacrosse Officials Association @MALOARefs]

@gregpottgen @MOLacrosse @DeSmetLacrosse Can’t have a goal with an offensive player in the crease. We hate having to enforce rules correctly too… 🤷🏻‍♂️
