Welcome to BSL

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.

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.
