2007 NISOA Refresher Test

The 2007 NISOA refresher test and answer sheet is available for download. Please complete the test, print the answer sheet, fill it out and mail it to Steve Lewin. You must submit an answer sheet by August 27, 2007 to remain a member in good standing. You may bring the answer sheet with you to the annual rules meeting.

We are not sure when the 2007 NCAA Soccer Rules Books will be mailed to you but in the meantime, you can view an electronic version of it on our web site. As always, the refresher test is ‘open book.’

2007 NCAA Rule Book

The 2007 NCAA Men’s and Women’s soccer rule book has been published is available for download (Adobe Acrobat Reader required).

Overall, the rule changes are minor. The most significant rule changes include:

  • The restart for temporary suspensions of play such as an injury will be a drop ball. Indirect free kick restart for the team in clear possession has been eliminated.
  • Administrative procedures allowing a formal protest have been included in the rule book.

Specific rule interpretations and points of emphasis will be presented at the mandatory rules clinic in August.

Portable Goals

Another fatality from a portable goal. Many collegiate soccer facilities are multipurpose and have portable goals. Please make sure they are securely anchored to the ground as required by the rules.
