Please do not complain about the refereeing
unless you have read the NIS Rules. There are no official indoor soccer rules and the NIS rules have been modified over
the years to emphasize sportsmanship and safety. We have coed leagues at every level of player. We have players
of all abilities playing together. As a result, we do not want physical play. Also, remember that indoor soccer is a very fast game and the referees are not going to be able
to see everything and will make mistakes, just as players and coaches will make mistakes during the games. We try to
hire and cultivate the best referees and are fortunate to have a number of referees who are very good and have refereed for
us for many years.

If you have a referee complaint please
contact the NIS Referee Coordinator or the NIS Soccer Director. Please have the following information: - The time and date of the game
- The age level
of the teams
- The team numbers or colors of the two
teams involved
- A description of the referee concern
or incident
- A reference to the rule or
rules that were misapplied
If you have not read the rules and do not know what the rules in questions is, do not make a complaint. Most
of our complaints are dismissed becuase the person making the complaint did not know the rule and was mistaken.
The NIS is a ZERO TOLERANCE
league. We will not tolerate abuse of our referees, players, coaches or fans. Remember, referees will make mistakes
just like the players and coaches do. Indoor soccer is a fast paced game and there are many judgement calls.
We strive to have quality referees and to help our referees improve the abilities. If a referee is struggling we
want to know about it so that we can help them become a better referee. You can help us by learning the rules, letting
us know if there is a problem and by not yelling at the referees!

Nobody wants to eject a player from a game or from a league;
however, everyone has to work together to make sure this does not happen. Referees have many different penalties to
impose to allow players to cool down and to control the game. A five minute penalty should get the players and the teams
attention. Coaches and players van help prevent ejections by helping calming their players down before penalties are
called. Every player has a different personality and playing style. Coaches and players know their players best.
They know who has a temper, who can get carried away. Get them off of the field before they take the stupid penalty
before they make the stupid comment to the referee that will get them ejected. Coaches should continually talk to their players
to make sure they do something they will regret. While we do not want to kick players out of games or out of leagues, we will not tolerate violent play or abusive
language. Certain penalties come with automatic suspensions and even ejections from the league. Every year we
will have a couple of game ejections that result in suspensions. Both teams complain about the penalty. One side
argues that the penalty should be much more severe while the other team claims that the penalty was too severe. One
side says the foul/s were blatant, the other side argues that the player is a good kid who would never intentionally hurt
anyone. The realty is that we have automatic suspensions to avoid trying to determine intentions. The best way to avoid suspensions is to help the referees control the game
before the situation escalates.
