The physical performance test for NISOA Renewing/New members is identical to the current test for US Soccer Grade 6 referees. KCISOA will accept the successful complete of the US Soccer Grade 6 fitness test.

​

Event 1: Repeated Sprint Test

  • Participants run six consecutive 40 meter sprints followed by a recovery period after each sprint (while walking back to the start line).

  • Dynamic start with the front foot on the line that is 1.5 meters away from the electronic timing gates at the starting position.

  • The ‘start’ gate is placed at 0m and the ‘finish’ gate at 40m. The ‘start line’ is marked out 1.5m before the ‘start’ gate.

  • Referees line up at the start with their front foot touching the ‘start line’. Once the test leader signals that ready, the referee is free to start.

  • Referees receive a maximum of 60 seconds recovery between each of the 6 x 40m sprints. During recovery, referees must walk back to the start.

  • If a referee falls or trips, they should be given an additional trial (one trial = 1 x 40 m).

  • If a referee fails one trial out of the six, they should be given a seventh trial immediately after the sixth trial. If they fail two trials out of seven, the match official has failed the test.

  • The maximum allowed time for each sprint is 9.0 seconds.

​

Event 2: Interval Test

  • Referees must complete 20 x 150m run / 50m walk intervals. This equates to 10 laps of a 400m athletics track. A lap consists of two 150 meter runs with two 50 meter recovery walks. Each run must be accomplished within 45 seconds. The walk interval shall be 45 seconds.

  • Referees must start from a standing position. They must not start before the whistle. On the whistle, referees are allowed to start running.

  • At the end of each run, reach referee must enter the 'walking area' before the whistle (45 seconds). The walking area is marked out with a line 1.5m before and 1.5m behind the 150m line.

  • If a referee fails to place a foot inside the walking area on time, they should receive a clear warning from the test leader. If a referee fails to place a foot inside the walking area on time for a second occasion, they should be stopped by the test leader and informed that they have failed the test.
