Hello BCSA Coaches, players, families!

We hope everyone is getting through this time as well as they can. Like many of you, we are eagerly waiting for soccer to start again. The BCSA board has been following the information provided on re-opening Texas and meeting to formulate a plan for playing soccer this Spring. With the latest public health protocol as of 18 May 2020, 15 June seems the magic date for us to back on the field to play games.

First and foremost, the safety of our players, coaches, and their families is a priority. If we are still able to continue the season, our BCSA community must each do our part to make Covid-19 a thing of the past. We ask all of our BCSA attendees, whether you are a player, coach, spectator, to at a minimum, practice social distancing, wash your hands, dispose of any used gloves, and if appropriate, wear a mask. If you are feeling ill or have a weakened immune system, we ask that you stay home and get better. Remember we are in this together!

The BCSA board decided the best way to finish out the Spring is to host two tournament style events in June. There are several factors that were taken into consideration, such as summer weather conditions and the limitations that come with it, public health concerns, referee availability, timelines to consider such the Fall Season preparation, registration, etc. The tournament style event will take place 18-21 June for all Boy teams and 25-28 June for all Girls teams. If your team does not have enough players to play, or your team does not want to play in the tournament but you would like to play, we will try to coordinate with others teams and players in the same situation to combine teams. We will also generate a waiting list, if needed. Some age groups may be placed in the same bracket for the tournament to ensure each team plays at adequate amount of games. ( 4U-6U; 7U-8U; 9U-10U; 11U-12U; 13U+ )We are planning to get at least 3 games for each team.

During the tournament event, there will be a schedule to disinfect common area items such as bathrooms, game balls, etc. We ask that you bring your own chairs for the sidelines. All bleachers will be removed from the fields for this event. Please help us follow public health guidelines. Water breaks will be implemented to ensure our players are staying hydrated.

If you feel the risks are still too great for you and your family and would like a refund, please email the office at bigcountrysoccer@gmail.com . There will also be a form to fill out to complete and help us track your refund. Please note that the refund will be for the games not played as originally scheduled, minus the cost of field fees, referees, insurance, and office fees. The possible refund is $34.00.

We look forward to seeing you on the field. If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to email bigcountrysoccer@gmail.com or call the office at 325-676-1447.
