The second and final NY Metro administered NISOA fitness test is scheduled for July 10, 2010. Based on historical attendance statistics, we expect many members will take the fitness test with other local NISOA chapters. If you choose to take the fitness test with another chapter, please be aware that it is your responsibility to make sure the test results are sent to the NYMISOA executive board. The Executive Board members have historically spent a lot of time and effort tracking down fitness test results from other chapters. The Board will not do that going forward.
If you are taking the test with another chapter, we strongly recommend you bring this form to their test site, have it filled out at the site and forward it to Steve Lewin as soon as possible.
The 2010 NISOA Preseason Guide is now available from the NISOA web site. The Preseason Guide includes NCAA soccer rules changes for the 2010 season as well as discussions of the points of emphasis from the NCAA.
NISOA and the NCAA published a summary of the 2010-2011 NCAA Men's and Women's Soccer Rules changes.
