If you are a returning member you may go to taso.org to take the 2009/2010 exam.  You will need to log-in to see the link for the exam.  Your user id# will be given to you at the time of your registration.  If you have forgotten your password, you must use the 'locked out?' link provided on the site.  The Dallas Chapter has no knowledge of your password and no way to get the information.

Those of you that are new to TASO this year, will be assigned a user id# after December 1st.  We will send out that information when it is provided by the state office.

You may take the exam multiple times but only one time in each testing period.  After each session, you will be given the dates of the next testing period. 

Previously named the TASO Soccer Scholarship Scramble, 2010 will mark the 5th annual scholarship event. With the untimely passing of Ken Smith on April 19, 2008, the scramble and scholarship have been renamed in his honor.

Ken was a great friend to the referee community, was always there to help a developing young referee and enjoyed playing golf when time allowed.
