In Ohio there are three regional lacrosse officials organization. The Ohio Schoolgirls Lacrosse Association (OSLA) and middle school girls programs rely on these professional organizations for the development of new officials as well as the continuing education of US Lacrosse certified officials. These regional organizations are also contracted to supply and assign certified officials to both middle school and high school girls lacrosse games.

The purpose of the Central Ohio Women’s Lacrosse Officials Association (COWLOA) is to provide competent, certified women’s lacrosse officials to officiate games at all levels. Our organization has mirrored the growth of lacrosse in central Ohio.
Our association sets out to train and provide officials to OSLA member schools in the Northern Ohio area. Our member base has continued to grow and is now made up of over 90 members, covering all playing levels of girls lacrosse. All officials are members of US Lacrosse and have been certified according to association standards. We strive to provide a fair, fun, and professional example of rules interpretation and knowledge to our lacrosse players. We are always looking to train new officials to help develop and promote our association and OSLA girls lacrosse programs.
Keep it fair. Keep it safe. Keep it fun!
