2026 SEASON KICK OFF

Hello All,

My name is Josh Barbour, I have been recently appointed as the new president of Oregon Youth Lacrosse. I am looking forward to working with all of you to work towards a successful 2026 Spring Season.

As the season is quickly approaching, I would like to share some important dates.  

Sunday, February 1: Oregon Youth Lacrosse Meeting (virtual): 7 pm

Monday, March 2: Official Start Date for Practice

Sunday March 15: Final Scheduling Meeting: 7 pm

March 23-March 27: Spring Break

April 4: First Weekend of Games

May 30: Last Weekend of Games

Oregon Youth Lacrosse is committed to training and supporting our Junior Officials. Our goal is that each official assigned to a game has completed both a classroom and on field training to ensure the safety and fairness of our games. We have training dates set in Roseburg and Medford, we will be announcing training dates in other regions throughout the state shortly. On field training will take place during preseason jamborees.  

Like last year, we will have the ability to assign and manage payments for all Junior Officials. We recognize that the payments did not go smoothly last year. The Oregon Youth Lacrosse board has been working very hard to rectify last year's issues and to ensure that all Officials are paid in a timely manner. The steps include:

All Junior Officials will register with Arbiter as part of their classroom training

We will have a point of contact with each club that can help us connect with JO's if there are barriers to taking the steps needed to be paid through Arbiter. 

 All JO's will be paid 1 week after the season ends (last weekend for games is May 30-31). JO's who finish their season earlier will be paid earlier. 

Lastly, Oregon Youth Lacrosse is searching for additional Board Members who are committed to increasing the growth of lacrosse in Oregon. We hold monthly virtual board meetings where we make plans and address needs regarding youth lacrosse in Oregon. Please contact me if you are interested.

I am looking forward to working with all of you this season. Please contact me at oregonyouthlacrosse.president@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Josh
