The 1988–89 American Indoor Soccer Association season was the fifth season for the league. In the offseason, the league announced new scoring rules with goals being worth either 1, 2, or 3 points based on distance and/or game situation. Before the season, teams were added in Chicago and Hershey. During the season, the league took control of the Memphis Storm team on December 18 because the ownership had financial issues.[1] After the season, the league announced that an expansion team based in Atlanta would join for 1989–90 season.
