Referee Insurance

Part of every official's mandatory fees each year is exclusively for insurance. This is largely due to injuries that can happen to any of you at any time, and the astronomical medical bills that could stem from an injury sustained during a lacrosse game. Although it is a rare occurrence, an injury can happen to anyone, at any time, and it is imperative to be prepared should such an occurence arise.

The following are some forms to be used in the event an insurance claim is required to be filed due to an injury sustained while refereeing in a lacrosse game (also available on the Alberta Lacrosse Web site):

Referee Travel

For officials wanting to officiate games and/or tournaments for either box or field lacrosse either in another province or internationally, the provincial Referee-in-Chief must be notified ahead of time. This is necessary in the event an injury occurs while officiating outside of the province or country, and Alberta medical coverage cannot cover any relevant expenses.
