Dear NHSOA Officials,

As we gear up for the 2025 fall season, I want to take a moment to recognize the exceptional efforts of each and every one of you. Your dedication to the game—and more importantly, to the student-athletes we serve—is what continues to set New Hampshire apart in the world of high school officiating.

This past year, we took meaningful steps forward, both on and off the field. Our Clip of the Week series remained a cornerstone of our educational efforts, highlighting real-world scenarios that challenged us to think critically and officiate with greater insight. From managing persistent infringement and recognizing tactical fouls to improving communication and preventing retaliation, each clip sparked important conversations and helped reinforce the standards we strive to uphold.

Your consistent engagement with these resources and the way you've applied those lessons in your matches is a reflection of the professionalism that defines NHSOA. Our collective growth depends on this kind of active learning—and it’s clear that many of you have embraced that responsibility with enthusiasm and pride.

Looking ahead to the fall, I encourage you to bring that same energy and focus into the new season. Each match is a fresh opportunity to improve your craft, support your crew, and positively impact the game. Let’s continue raising the bar together.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to excellence. I look forward to seeing you back on the field this fall for another season of progress, pride, and great officiating.

With sincere appreciation,

William “Bill” Aubin

President, New Hampshire Soccer Officials Association
