New to the upcoming 2024-2025 season, Team Officials will only be able to register onto their teams between August 1-September 30.  Each Team Official registration will be reviewed to confirm that all required information is submitted, this includes:
Please refer to the 2024 Team Officials' Manual for additional details (Click Here)


You must be in communication with the appropriate league staff to keep your profile temporarily active during the 'grace period' of September 1-October 15.
Lack of communication will result in your profile being removed by October 1st.


After October 15 and for the remainder of the season, any new team official registration or team official update must be completed by contacting the LIWSA Registrar and must include a copy of CRC results, notification of awaiting results will not be accepted.  It is the responsibility of the individual to ensure all requirements are completed in a timely manner.
