The chapter is continually recruiting qualified soccer officials for membership but we only accept applications between June 15 and the second Saturday of January in the ensuing year. New membership criteria is based on the current NISOA policy. If you meet the criteria and would like to become a member of our chapter, get more information about membership. Complete membership applications should be submitted to the Executive Vice President no later than the second Saturday in January. Applications are considered during January. Candidates accepted by the Executive Board are expected to attend the new member clinic. The clinic consists of two or three, 3 hour classes over the course of four weeks (usually in March) culminating with the NISOA Qualifying Exam. New members will have to pass the NISOA Fitness Test. If the new member fails to achieve this score, they may retake the fitness test in six months. The fitness test is administered by the chapter in June and July.
