Longtime offi cials volunteer Laurette Payette doesn’t like to be bored By Paul Krome
If necessity is the mother of invention, is boredom the mother of ingenuity?
Registration and application deadline for the US Lacrosse Regional Championships and the US Lacrosse U15 National Championships July 23-28 in Orlando. More at
uslacrosse.org/events.
All Laurette Payette wanted as a chaperone on a trip to Merestead Field Hockey and Lacrosse Camp in Castleton, Vt., in the summer of 1982 was something to do. A teacher at Hathaway Brown School in Shaker Heights, Ohio, Payette accompanied a group of girls to the annual camp when the prospect of boredom led her to sign up for a clinic on how to offi ciate girls’ lacrosse — a sport she’d never seen. “I had always been active. I just didn’t want to sit around,” Payette said.

It marked the fi rst of many good calls by Payette. More than 30 years later, she’ll step down July 31 as the chair of the US Lacrosse women’s game offi cials subcommittee, turning the page on a career as one of the most decorated offi cials in the game and one of the most selfl ess volunteers for the development of those who wear the stripes. “There was a nationally- rated offi cial in our area, and she must have seen ‘loser’ on my forehead. She took me to clinics and everything. ‘Now you’re going to go here. Now you’re going to go there,’” Payette said with a laugh. “By 1987 I had my national rating.”
