CLIENT RULES - HIGH SCHOOL (WOA)
Washington-State High Schools follow the National Federation of High School (NFHS) rules as modified by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA).
The girl's season is played in the fall of the year. They are comprised of 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A levels of play.
The boy's season is held in the spring and is comprised of 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A levels of play (note: The 1B boys play in the fall).
Similar to WSYSA, WIAA has adopted strict Concussion Management guidance. You can read more about this by clicking here.
In addition, referees who officiate at high school soccer matches must belong to the Washington Officials Association (WOA). Dave Braun is the Assigning Secretary for TCSRA and he manages the payment of your fees and assignments to high school games.
