Competitive Leagues

Competitive (Storm):        

For players seeking a more competitive soccer environment, Bigfork Soccer Club encourages participation in our Storm program. Storm players will see an increased focus on individual skill development and tactical play. Competitive soccer requires more of a time commitment from players and families both. Our Storm coaches are paid and required to meet the MYSA coaches training requirements to ensure that players are being appropriately prepared for the high school game and beyond.

Who: The Storm program is open to players with birth years 2004-2012, boys and girls. Teams depend on the number of registrants per age level.

Practice/Games: Storm teams will practice at Carlyle-Johnson Park or Swan River School in Bigfork two or three times per week in the afternoon. There will be a minimum of four weekends of Saturday games (two games per day). Most games are played in the western part of Montana depending on available competition.

Season:  Late August through October.

Evaluations: All Storm participants are required to attend an evaluation session with our coaches to ensure that each child is placed with the team that gives them and their peers the best possible opportunity to succeed and improve their skills.

Players must attend at least one of the following evaluation sessions at Carlyle Johnson Fields off Highway 83 in Bigfork:

• 8/10, 5:30-7:30
• 8/17, 5:30-7:30

Fees: $200 includes registration, Home/Away jersey.

**TOURNAMENTS**: All teams will be encouraged to participate in our local tournaments and beyond. Participation in these tournaments will be an additional charge when the team has decided to play.

Referees Needed:

Each Storm team is required to have a team referee that has completed the US Soccer Grassroots Referee program, paid for by BSC. For more information on becoming a certified referee, contact Adam Baumann @ adam.baumann83@gmail.com
