President’s Message
I would like to thank all of those who participated in the 2009
Bismarck Soccer League (BSL) season! It was a great success. The
2010 BSL season will begin soon. BSL is a recreational soccer league
that provides children from Kindergarten through 6th grade a safe
and fun environment to play and learn the fundamentals of soccer,
along with building sportsmanship and meeting new friends. We are a
volunteer, community supported league, and we are always looking for
new people to help us keep BSL running smoothly. If you are
interested in volunteering or have suggestions or questions, please
feel free to contact Stacy, Executive Director, or any of the board
members. We would like to thank all of you that volunteer to coach
and for allowing your children to participate in the great sport of
soccer; it is all of you that make our program a success!
Thank You,
Al Burgard
President Bismarck Soccer League

BSL needs your help!
Besides needing volunteers to coach our teams,
BSL also needs volunteers for grade coordinators. A grade
coordinator usually volunteers for a one-year commitment (one boys'
and girls' season). The responsibilities include working closely
with the Executive Director to contact potential coaches and helping
form the teams. Grade Coordinators are part of the BSL board which
meet every 2nd Sunday of the month. Coordinators are invaluable to
the success of BSL! Please consider volunteering.

BSL Volunteer Position
Bismarck Soccer League Zero Tolerance Policy
Bismarck Soccer League (BSL) is a recreational youth soccer
organization run by volunteers. This organization is designed to
provide a safe and fun place for kids to play soccer while building
sportsmanship and camaraderie. In keeping with the spirit in which
this organization was founded, BSL requires that all participants
including players, coaches, parents, spectators and officials,
behave with courtesy and respect and, assist us by providing a safe,
encouraging and positive atmosphere during practices, games,
scrimmages and other events, as such BSL has a zero tolerance policy
in regards to unsportsmanlike conduct, foul language, verbal or
physical abuse or harassment towards another player, parent, coach,
official, or board member.
Any individual who is displaying inappropriate behavior will be
asked to leave the soccer game immediately. When a board member has
been informed that an individual has been inappropriate, he/she may
be asked to appear before the board for an explanation. The Board
shall impose such penalty as they feel is warranted.
A coach cannot, under any condition, dispute an official call on the
field in an argumentative fashion. Arguing with an official or with
another coach, player or parent will not be tolerated and is grounds
for removal from the game, and possibly from the program. An
official’s call is final and is not eligible for protest.
Decisions of BSL Board are final and no protests will be
entertained.
