Write for Stripes!

[LaxRef]

Everyone knows that the denizens of this forum are among the officials most well-versed in the rules of lacrosse, lacrosse mechanics, and game management as well as being effective written communicators. (They are also extremely attractive to members of the opposite sex.)

Because of this, I can think of no better place to troll for contributors to Stripes, the US Lacrosse Men's Division Officials Council Newsletter. If you'd like to contribute to the next issue, I'd like to have your submissions by March 12. You can PM me if you don't already have my e-mail address.

Here's the text of an ad that lists the kinds of things we're looking for:

==========

Stripes is for MDOC members, but we also want it to be written by MDOC members! Please submit:

• Game situations and rules/quiz questions.

• Articles about officiating principles.

• Articles about specific men’s officials.

• Photos and graphics relevant to officiating.

• News from your area.

• Articles about training or recruiting techniques or programs.

• Amusing anecdotes about officiating.

• Humor pieces, jokes, and cartoons.

• Letters to the editor.

In short, if it has to do with men’s lacrosse officiating or will be of interest to men’s lacrosse officials, send it in. All submissions we use will be credited, and—for feature articles and significant contributions that we use, or even for several smaller ones—we’ll send you a “Stripes” T-shirt.

==========

I'd also consider running a well-written piece on officiating from a player's point of view.

As evidenced by this sentence!
