Mission Statement

The goal of the New England Trials Association (NETA) is to promote the sport of observed trials. To that end, the NETA serves as a governing organization that sets the schedule, maintains a set of competition rules, records results and oversees year end awards for a regional Observed Trials Championship Series. Independent New England area clubs participate in this series.
