Dear NHSOA Members,

As we settle into the summer months, I hope each of you is finding time to enjoy the warmer weather, spend time with family and friends, and take advantage of a well-deserved break from the soccer season.

Before long, the fall season will be upon us. As we all know, high school soccer in New Hampshire is a rewarding experience, but it is also a long and demanding season. I encourage each of you to use the summer wisely—stay active, continue your fitness training, sharpen your knowledge of the rules, and just as importantly, make time to rest and recharge. Taking care of yourself now will help ensure you're ready for the challenges and opportunities that await this fall.

As a reminder, NHSOA membership dues and NHIAA officials' dues are now due. Please take a few moments to ensure both have been submitted. Steve has already begun the assignment process for the upcoming season, and NHIAA policy prevents officials from receiving game assignments until their NHIAA dues have been paid. If you haven't taken care of that yet, I encourage you to do so as soon as possible to avoid any delays in receiving assignments.

On behalf of the NHSOA Executive Board, thank you for your continued commitment to high school soccer and to the student-athletes we serve throughout New Hampshire. We appreciate the time, effort, and professionalism you bring to the field each season.

Have a safe, healthy, and enjoyable summer. We look forward to seeing all of you back on the pitch this fall.

With sincere appreciation,

William “Bill” Aubin  (Bill@qcglass.com)

President, New Hampshire Soccer Officials Association
