The Northern Illinois Soccer League recently introduced the inaugural NISL Women's Leadership Committee, dedicated to enhancing the experience of female players within the league. Following its kickoff meeting, the committee is excited to launch its first initiative—the first-ever ALL-FEMALE REFEREE COURSE, exclusively for NISL players ages 13 and up!
Held in conjunction with the Illinois State Referee Committee, this course is designed for first-time referees. It features blended coursework, including an in-person field session and online assignments. Participants who successfully complete the course will earn a U.S. Soccer Grassroots Referee License, enabling them to officiate games immediately upon completion.
This is a fantastic opportunity for NISL girls to advance their soccer journey. Becoming a referee offers numerous benefits, including a deeper understanding of the game, the ability to earn money through soccer, and the potential to pursue a future career in officiating.
The in-person session will take place at Soccer City on Saturday, March 15th, from 1:00 to 3:30 PM.
