Message from the President:
Dear NHSOA Members,
I hope this message finds you well and thriving during the heart of the soccer season!
As we head toward the midpoint of the season, it's an ideal time to reinforce our commitment to continuous improvement. To help us maintain a high standard of officiating, we have introduced several new training modules that I strongly encourage all officials to participate in:
Clip of the Week – These weekly clips focus on key moments in games, offering practical insights into decision-making. Reviewing these will help refine your judgment and ensure consistent application of the rules.
Stopping a Promising Attack (SPA) Presentation – SPA remains a critical area of focus. This training will guide you through recognizing SPA situations and making the correct calls, an essential aspect of game management.
Handball Presentation – Understanding what constitutes a handball in different areas of the field is vital. This module breaks down the rule and helps ensure uniformity in how handball decisions are made.
It is essential that we remain active in our training efforts. By engaging with these resources, we can continue to align ourselves with the latest interpretations and expectations, ensuring consistent and fair officiating across all matches.
I would also like to take a moment to recognize and thank Cullen Madden, Dennis Ordway, Ted Kitsis, and Rick Anthony for their tremendous efforts in curating, editing, and producing all of this year's training materials. Their hard work has made these resources available to us all and is a significant reason for our continued success.
As you continue your work on the field, I want to thank each of you for your dedication and professionalism. Your efforts are noticed, and the quality of officiating is making a positive impact across the league. Keep up the fantastic work, and best of luck with the remainder of your season!
If you have any questions about the new training modules or need support in any area, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards,
William "Bill" Aubin
President, New Hampshire Soccer Officials Association
