The 2008 NISOA Refresher Test is now available for download. This year, members will submit their answer sheet online. Answer sheets must be submitted before the annual rules interpretation meeting on August 23, 2008. All active members (including new members) are required to submit an answer sheet to maintain their good standing status. The procedure for taking the refresher test is:
- Download the test from our website. We recommend printing the test and writing your answers on the test itself.
- Log on to the web site and fill out your answer sheet. You do not have to fill out the entire answer sheet in one session. When you click on the ’save and submit’ button, your answers will be saved. You may come back and finish at any time before August 23, 2008.
As always, you may use the NCAA Soccer Rules Book as a reference when you take the test. Please post any questions in the comments section.

Due to the unusually large number of members who have not taken the NISOA fitness test at either of the chapter’s scheduled tests, we will offer a makeup NISOA Fitness Test at Murphy Field on Fordham University’s Rose Hill campus at 5:00 PM on Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Members who did not attend either of the scheduled tests will be assessed a $50 fee if they choose to take this makeup test. Optionally, you may take the NISOA Fitness test with another chapter provided they are accepting guests.
Members who wish to improve their score are invited to attend the makeup test as well.
The NY Metro ISOA chapter has administered our final scheduled NISOA fitness test for the 2007 season. NY Metro ISOA members who have not yet taken the NISOA fitness test will have to make arrangements with other chapters to take the fitness test and have the results reported directly to Joe Danbusky. The New Jersey chapter and several New England chapters will administer NISOA fitness tests later this summer.
UPDATE: Makeup NY Metro NISOA Fitness Test Scheduled
Steve Lewin has been researching the most updated fitness criteria for renewing NISOA members. Based on the criteria in NISOA policy, Steve took the minimum criteria and tabulated the chapter scoring criteria for fitness testing in 2007 and subsequent seasons. This criteria meets the minimum performance standards in the NISOA policy and provides for a fair assessment of physical condition.
Renewing members must achieve a minimum average score of 1.0. New candidates must achieve a minimum average score of 1.5.
