The Fall 2005 session will begin on Saturday, September 10! The B.A.S.A. Board Of Director's held a coaches meeting on Monday, August 29th. The coaches have received their team rosters. You should be hearing from your coach in the near future. We hope that your children enjoy the up coming session! The BASA Board of Directors is a new group that was elected in June of this year, as such we are sure that we will make mistakes. Please be patient with us! We are all volunteers and we are working hard to make this a positive experience for you and your children.

The In-house coaches meeting for the 2005 Fall session will be held on August 29, at 6:30PM in the cafeteria at Highland Middle School. Coaches will receive rosters, schedules, and equipment if needed. This will also be the opportunity to sign up for practice time. During the meeting we will cover the In-house rules and any changes that may have been instituted for the Fall session. All coaches are encouraged to attend. In addition, it would help if you download the Volunteer Disclosure Form and fill it out before the meeting.

In a spirit of cooperation, BASA has agreed to a request from the soccer boosters to add this page to our website. The purpose of this page is to give those who need them access to handouts used by the boosters for varying fundraising activities. The funds raised will be used to help the Blackhawk Middle School and High School soccer teams. These handouts will be posted as they become available.

Final fall registration will be held on July 23 and July 30 from 9:00am to 12:00pm at the soccer fields behind the Highland Middle School. We were going to have it at the High School but apparently we could not get a place to do it there. Please pass this information along to anyone you know that may not have signed up yet.
