National Official’s Course is $25.00. FIL Judges Course is $25.00. Rules Refresher Course is FREE!

The "online" rules refresher course is active and reflects the rule changes to the IRO 2018.  This is being updated for the 2022 version, and is not available yet. Please contact Beverly for the invite email/link to take the course online.   Although the "online" is not as effective as in person, it may help with those people who might be unable to travel.

You must attend or take the "Online" Refresher Course every two years to stay "Active".  Due to Covid the past 2 years, and the updated IRO, everyone should plan to take a Rules Refresher course this year.

2022 is a year for rule changes and edits.    The IRO is available on our USALuge website.

For more information or to register for a course, please contact Beverly@usaluge.org, or download, print, complete and mail or fax the Course Registration form to register.

Note:  We are currently in the process of setting up the schedule for the National Officials courses as well as FIL Courses.
