NJILOA Meetings2019 - Meeting #2 Beginning Week of March 18th, 2019
Who’s Here? Experience Levels Identifying who is in the audience helps us taylor our presentation styleQuestion:How many years have you been officiating boys’ lacrosse?
What Do We Control?Bill Tierney (Paraphrasing):The two most important parts of the game are goaltending and face-offs. As officials, you have no part in goaltending. But, you dictate everything that happens on the face-off._____________________________________________________ Restarts: They can’t do anything until we blow the whistle. Let’s make sure no one gets an advantage

Who does what? What am I looking at? What do I call?Agree or Disagree with this statement: Only the face-off official should call face-off violations
Face-Off: Deconstructing the parts Pregame conference with each other Pregame meeting with FOGOsPre-whistle violationsPost-whistle violations Who’s looking at what in 2-person & 3-person
Pregame with each other Referee: make it clear to your partner that you are OK with calling violations If your attitude is: “just blow it quick and who cares” you are in for a long day 2-person Face-off person is alone. 1 - Get them top to stop 2 - Adjust their hands for both tape & line First guy down stays put Wing Official Call obvious movement of face-off players only Identify the situation (contested wings vs spread apart - where can you help most?
Pregame with each other Referee: make it clear to your partner that you are OK with calling violations If your attitude is: “just blow it quick and who cares” you are in for a long day 3-person Face-off person send them down, then look into neutral zone 1- Top to Stop (1st guy down stays) Verbal vs. physical: We’ll get to that next 2 - Helper adjust hands of player facing you (watches bodies) 3 - FO official clears neutral zone and checks for tape (watches hands/sticks) Wing Official Officiate wing players only Post whistle everyone helps (pushes)
You Make The CallWhite moves Green moves
When Adjusting Players on the Face-Off Question: 2-person mechanics:I move them with my handsI move them verbally What Are Best Practices?
When Adjusting Players on the Face-Off What Are BestPractices? Question: 3-person mechanics: Helper adjusts players physically No one touches anyone Only face-off official touches players
How Should This Go Down? In both 2-Person Mechanics & 3-Person Mechanics: If you can do it all verbally, do itBe consistent with your instructions (blue, move left. More. More. OK good.) Use same verbiage all game When things go right: always pat the dog on the head “Guys you have been great about going down tops to stops all day thank you so much!”
What’s Your Call White moves earlyBlack moves earlyWhite uses his head Black uses his head White hold Black hold
Pace Cadence Steps AwayConsider your own movement Are you herky-jerky with your movements? Are they sudden and explosive? Are they causing the players to move? Consider slow and deliberate If you are dealing with unruly coaches - “he’s early every time!!!” hold the face-off players longer, and tell them they’re going to be down there a while because you’re frustrated with the coaches. Give a very loud set Walk out at a snail’s pace How quickly or slowly we do things can influence whether or not we “make” players violate
Moving Away Slowly: A good example
When Face-Off Violations Happen: Official who called the violation makes the signal If you’re explaining, and that explanation requires two colors, insert the word ball after the team color receiving possession: “White’s early! Green Ball! (pointing)”In 2-man: trail official restarts play In 3-man: single side official starts play, other two officials make sure no one leaves the box Make sure they let you get the call out of your mouth before running up the field. If they don’t: bring them back Infraction Explanation Examples: “White’s early! Green Ball” “White hooks him back under the elbow, that’s a hold! Green Ball!” “Green is withholding! White ball!”
Good Single Side Restart in 3-man
You Make The Call: Black moves White moves White uses head Black uses head White hold Black hold
