HKLA - Key Persons
I first learned lacrosse at University in 2012, and since then I have seen a big growth in the lacrosse community in Hong Kong especially in women's lacrosse. In 2013, a local women's league was formed and I started taking more interest in becoming an official. Although my day job as a primary school teacher keeps me very busy, I think the skillsets I learn as a teacher helps me to contribute to the officials committee in assisting with education materials for officials and new initiatives how to continuously improve.

I became a lacrosse referee in late 2016. I have attended multiple HK Lacrosse Open and ASPAC 2019. I am also an accredited umpire so you might see me in the ladies game from time to time. Being an official gives you the front-row seat to the game, you can feel the intensity, energy and power from within the field. Yet, unlike being a player, winning or losing is none of my business. My role is to provide the best stage to promote athletic excellence and for players to shine. So it is very important that we grow officiating as we grow the game which is one of the things I will be contributing to the committee.
What I love: I LOVE hearing player shouting "ARE YOU BLIND REF?" where i always wish saying "May be I am, but you see, my flags are looking right at you"
My best move: Slipping on my bump when trying to turn 180 degrees upon a turnover. (To my defence, it was the fourth quarter under heavy rain)

Hi my name is Joyce Tong, HKLA Level 2 Umpire. I began my officiating career in Oct 2018. Since then I've been blessed with the opportunity to travel around the region learning and sharing my passion for the game of lacrosse. I am excited to continue the development of the game in this role and continue sharing my passion for the rules to younger zebras!
Being a member of the lacrosse community, I believe that officials are as important as coaches and players.
