What Our Members Are Saying…
“I’ve been a part of the NISOA family for 6+ years and can truly say it’s been such a huge part of my refereeing career. I remember my first couple years as a new college referee having the privilege to officiate alongside some of the top referees in our country. I look back and see the great amount my referee career has benefited and continues to benefit from officiating college ball with NISOA.”
Samantha Martinez, NISOA Referee
“I have been a member of NISOA since 1980. Over the years, I’ve seen how the association has changed to meet the needs of the modern game. The college game is diverse and widespread across this country. This organization uniquely positioned to provide top-level instruction at the local level. They are integral to the work I do with the referees within my conferences.”
Paul Scott, WAC & RMAC Assignor
“NISOA has provided many great opportunities, but the two I value the most are: First, the opportunity to grow my soccer family and friendships and secondly, opportunities to officiate matches that provide varying levels of difficulty and diversity.”
Jon Freemon, NISOA Referee
