An Education and Training Committee, an Officiating Committee and a Rules Committee have all been formed.

Within the Officiating Committee and Rules Committee there will be three sub-committees dedicated to women's, men's and indoor lacrosse.

Those appointed to the nine technical committees and sub-committees are all volunteers and will begin their work immediately to support the development of the sport worldwide.

There will be 13 nations represented on the various committees and sub-committees.

World Lacrosse technical director and Board member Don Blacklock, said: "We have assembled a diverse group of technical experts from within our membership who are very engaged and committed to delivering a first-class participant experience for our players, officials, coaches and lacrosse fans.

"There is much work to be done, whether through developing and refining rules, developing officials or creating resources to support the officiating pathway. 

"This is a great group people, with tremendous talent and experience, who will commit their personal time to support the continued growth of the game, and we thank them for the willingness to continue volunteering their time in support of our international federation and game."

Rob Gross, who will chair the Education and Training Committee, added: "The Committee members are not only experienced officials, but they are educators and have significant experience in training and developing officials, as well. 

"The Committee is ready for the challenge to deliver whatever is necessary to support officials worldwide and other areas of the organisation."

A total of 49 people were appointed to the committees, primarily from the United States, Canada, England and Australia, and a full list can be viewed here.
