Transparency
• US Lacrosse has asked if we would like to implement a good sportsmanship and referee app. Use of this app would require that coaches use a star rating for the official on their game. The official will use a star rating for the sportsmanship of each coach/team. Anyone may see the ratings for the sportsmanship of the teams. Other leagues have used this and it has lead to increased good sportsmanship and better officiating because everyone is held accountable. If interested, we could arrange for a demonstration at the annual meeting.
