Southeastern Soccer Officials Association

The SSOA will be hosting a USSF Advanced Grade 8 Recertification on Monday, November 2nd from 5:30pm-10:30pm for all experienced Grade 8 referees. Must have a minimum of 3 years experience or permission from your assignor.

Grade 7 and above officials are encouraged and welcome to attend and “audit” the class. Their contributions would be helpful to discussion.

Saturday, August 8th, 9:00 AM at Camp Jordan. If you are a NISOA official and plan to referee college matches this fall it is mandatory that you take the written exam and pass the fitness test. If you have already taken the fitness test elsewhere, feel free to join us at 10:15 am at Concord Baptist Church for the clinic and written exam.

We will have a make-up date on Monday Aug 10 at 6:30 pm at Camp Jordan.

There is no overtime during regular season. During playoffs the following procedure applies:

• The overtime will consist of two (2) full ten-minute periods.
• If the score remains tied, there will be two (2) “sudden victory” five-minute periods.
• If the score remains tied, a “shootout” of penalty kicks will determine the winner.
