February 2025 – The Northern Illinois Soccer League (NISL) proudly announces the launch of the NISL Women's Leadership Committee, a dedicated initiative designed to empower women in soccer through leadership, mentorship, and advocacy.
This all-female committee, composed of key stakeholders from NISL member clubs, will work to enhance the experience of female players, coaches, and referees within the league. It will also champion fair play, diversity, and anti-discrimination policies, fostering an inclusive and equitable soccer community.
“We are thrilled to introduce this initiative as part of our commitment to strengthening and expanding the role of girls and women in the NISL,” said Matt Reiswerg, NISL VP of Strategic Growth and Development. “By forming this committee, we aim to inspire and support females in our league and the sport as a whole.”
The Women's Leadership Committee will provide valuable insights to the NISL, identifying key issues affecting females in the league. Committee members will collaborate to develop programs and expand opportunities for female participants.
NISL welcomes those interested in supporting this movement. For more information or to get involved, please contact
