Dear NHSOA Officials,
As we wrap up another successful season, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to each of you for your hard work, dedication, and professionalism. Your commitment to the game and to the athletes we serve is evident in every match you officiate. Together, we have continued to uphold and enhance the standards of officiating in New Hampshire, ensuring the safety, fairness, and integrity of the game.
This year, our Clip of the Week series served as an invaluable tool in sharpening our officiating skills and reinforcing best practices. Through these clips, we explored a wide range of essential topics, from effective game management and understanding persistent infringement to recognizing and responding to fouls with varying levels of severity. We also reviewed strategies for proactive communication, dealing with player frustrations, and maintaining control in situations that could lead to retaliation. Each clip was designed to help us not only apply the rules consistently but also interpret them in a way that supports the flow and integrity of the game.
Your engagement with these clips and the thoughtful application of these lessons on the field have contributed significantly to an outstanding season. It’s through continued learning and a commitment to excellence that we grow both individually and collectively as an officiating body.
As we look ahead, I encourage you to carry forward what you've learned this season and continue to refine your craft. Every match is an opportunity to improve, to lead, and to make a positive impact on the game.
Thank you once again for your hard work and dedication. Enjoy the off-season, and I look forward to seeing each of you back on the field next year, ready to make another great season possible.
With sincere appreciation,
William "Bill" Aubin
President, New Hampshire Soccer Officials Association
