The Basics
Belle Fourche Soccer is a recreational league. Recreational leagues require randomization in team formation (unless combining siblings) as well as equitable playtime.
Children ages 4 - 18 are able to participate.
Volunteer coaches are assigned to teams by the BFSA Board and must pass required safety protocols. Coaches are responsible for setting their own practice schedules while being considerate of family availability.
The league maintains the field space and provides balls, cones, and pinnies for each team's practice and jerseys for each player to wear during games.
Games are usually scheduled for Saturdays but are subject to change due to weather and scheduling conflicts.
Youth and adult referees may be scheduled to oversee games.
