Description: The in-house league is a recreational soccer league for players at all skill levels.  The league is co-ed and everyone is ensured at least 3 quarters of play in every game (assuming we have enough volunteer coaches, see below). The Spring session runs from mid April through the end of June, No games Memorial Day weekend (10 games).  Divisions are created based on age as of April 17, 2010:

The BSC does not require the selling of candy, walkathons or raffle tickets.  All we ask is for your time as a volunteer.  Volunteers include concession stand helpers, coaches, referees and team parents.

To make our program a success and to ensure everyone has an opportunity to play, volunteer coaches are needed.  Even if you know little about soccer, we will educate you through our coaches' clinics.  Registration may be limited based on the number of coaches available in a particular division.  If you are interested in coaching you can volunteer at registration or please call John Smith, Director of Adult Education and Training at 630-226-1840.
