Through Pennsylvania’s Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED), BASA applied for and has been granted money to improve our soccer facilities. The B.A.S.A Board would like to sincerely thank Mike Veon and his staff for their assistance in securing this state funding. BASA participants as well as the community as a whole will benefit tremendously from this grant as we continue to expand and improve our soccer program and facilities. No Jewelry, Please!! One of the Referee’s responsibilities before each game is to make sure that NO players are wearing potentially dangerous objects, such as watches, jewelry or adornment of any nature. (This would include, but is not limited to, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, hair beads, hair clips, or any other type of adornment, that a referee would deem a potentially dangerous.) Players that are wearing the above mentioned items will be asked to remove them, taping or covering is not an acceptable practice. Please be aware that the only exception to the above rule would be “Medic Alert Jewelry”, but this jewelry would have to be taped down. Please help the Referees by making sure your child is jewelry free before each game. Thank You.
