For Teams

How to Pay Officials

CAPLAX Teams

CAPLAX member programs will receive an invoice from CTWLOO at the beginning of the season for all scheduled games. CAPLAX member programs will send payment to CTWLOO and CTWLOO will pay the officials on girls youth lacrosse games. At the end of the season, CTWLOO will issue EOS invoices or refund statements to reflect the final schedule.

HS Teams

CTGHSLL member programs are responsible for paying officials directly as the games take place.

The Home Team of each game is responsible for issuing the payments (See 2025 HS Fees).

This is a change from when the HS programs would send a single payment to CTWLOO at the beginning of the season and CTWLOO would pay the officials. This change affects all teams that are members of the Central Texas Girls High School Lacrosse League (CTGHSLL).

The intention is to bring CTWLOO’s payment process in line with the other officials organizations in the state of Texas. In addition, the unified contract between TGHSLL and the three TX Women’s Officials organizations (CTWLOO, NTWLOA, TSLB) contractually mandates that all parties adopt such a model, which the North and South areas were already using.
