Welcome to BSL
Bismarck Soccer League was created to provide a fun, non-competitive organization to build soccer in Bismarck, ND. We provide a healthy soccer environment for boys and girls Grades K-6. Our girls out-door soccer season is in the Spring and the boys season is in the Fall.

2012 Boys & Girls Fall Registration Begins May 7th!
BSL is announcing a major change to the Fall Season this year. We are going to open the fall season to both boys and girls. In order to get the fall season information out to everyone before the end of school we are starting the fall season registration a little earlier than usual this year. The Registration Form for the 2012 Boys & Girls 2012 Fall Season can be found on the 'Forms and Handouts' page.

URGENT!!!!
Bismarck Soccer League has a major need for volunteer board members! The positions require minimal time, but there are many positions to be filled.  Please contact us at bismarcksoccerleague@hotmail.com

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.
