2008 Summer Competitive To download the information below in an Adobe Acrobat pdf file, click here. Burnsville Soccer The Burnsville Fire Soccer Club is a non-profit, community-based organization partnering with the Burnsville Athletic Club to offer recreational (in-house) and competitive (traveling) league soccer for residents of Burnsville and Savage and ISD 191 students, defined as our primary service area. We have provided soccer programs in the community since 1971 and are the feeder program for local area high schools. Program Philosophy The Summer Competitive League is the primary competitive season, providing 2-4 challenging levels of play against teams from other communities (mostly south metro with a few in southern Minnesota). Teams are formed based on players’ abilities. Playing time is at the discretion of the coach. The focus of training and games is the development of each player’s technical and tactical ability, fitness, and competitive drive. Eligibility The Summer Competitive League is open to players born between 8/1/88 and 7/31/00 residing in either Burnsville or Savage or attending an ISD 191 school. Other players will be accepted consistent with BFSC rules. Players born after 7/31/00 may be accepted at the discretion of the Director of Coaching. Team Formation Teams will be formed the first week of August from players who have pre-registered with the club by 8/5/07 AND those attending tryouts that week. Pre-registered players are still expected to attend tryouts, but will be placed if they cannot. At tryouts, those not already pre-registered will be given a choice between registering on site or a Tryout Fee of $25. Players who register in advance or on-site are considered committed to the club for the 2007-2008 soccer year. Players paying only the Tryout Fee are NOT committed to the club, but must register in full by 8/31/07 or the offer may be withdrawn. Tryouts will consist of small-sided play and full-field if play if possible. Please come dressed to play, with cleats, shin pads, and water. Players will be assigned to teams by the Director of Coaching based on first-hand observation of the player in training, tryout and/or game environments with the input of staff coaches who have worked with the player. Every effort is made to place each player at a level that will provide an appropriate environment for growth and success. MYSA roster size restrictions may prevent placement of every player trying out for the club. Once a player has committed to a team, transfers will only be allowed following MYSA guidelines and regulations. Calendar Expected player commitment is from April 1 to August 2, 2008. Teams will play 1-2 games per week, practice 1-3 times per week, and play in 2-5 weekend tournaments. ALL players are expected to attend the appropriate tryout sessions below at North River Hills Park.
Cost Tryout Fee is $25 and available for those not wishing to commit to the club. Players opting to pay only the Tryout Fee must still pay the full Club Fee to accept any assignment offered.
Club Fees are non-refundable except in the case of a season-ending injury or player relocation before 4/1/08 or if the club is unable to offer placement. A non-refundable $50 application fee is included. Miscellaneous *Players may not play for or register with another MYSA-sanctioned club during the season.
