Joining the NASO gives you a subscription to the referee magazine, a worthwhile publication, insurance, which i believe includeds wage loss insurance, and you also get discounts on some very good publications and books. I think it is an extremely worthwhile program. The referee magazine alone is worth the $80 for all the useful tips and tricks contained in it. Since getting the subscription, my game has considerably improved.
Mind you, I'm only 17, and neither the insurance or the subcription are in my name. It was a fathers day present for my dad. I'm outright cheap, so until I move out I will be reading his magazines. Insurance wise, I'm covered through my provincial officials association, but only for sanctioned games, which includes any game assigned to me by my boards assignor (rec league, high school, middle school, club ball, ect) I believe that costs about 10 per year per member or something like that.
