Burlington Area Soccer Club

The Burlington Area Soccer Club (BASC) Elite traveling soccer teams are the premier soccer teams in Southeast Iowa. The BASC Elite Program offers competitive soccer for boys and girls from the age of 7 thru 18. The BASC Elite Program strives to provide an atmosphere where players can develop advanced soccer skills while competing against other regional soccer clubs.

Schedule
The 2012 Fall Elite Program runs from August 2012 through Nov 2012.

The Elite teams will participate in an 6-8 game fall season, as well as 3 regional tournaments. In 2012 the U15 thru U18 Elite teams will play in the IPSL (Iowa Premier Soccer League) for the fall season. Participation in the BASC/YMCA recreational league is not required.

The IPSL schedules premier teams in the Eastern Iowa communities against other premier teams in order to provide a higher level of competition than can be found in the local communities.

Fees

Base Fee: $200.00
Uniform Fee: $70-$75

Fund-raising
Two fund-raising opportunities will be provided throughout the year. All money raised by the individual will reduce the player’s base fee. No group fund-raising is required; however attendance at the car wash fundraiser in late summer is required.

Tournaments
3 tournaments are part of the base program.

Teams may participate in other tournaments throughout the year; participation in the additional tournaments is optional. If a player decides to participate in an additional tournament the tournament fees will be added to their base fee.

League Games
IPSL: 6-8 game season in the fall. Games will be played mostly on Sundays. The fall season will run from September through early November. Practices will start in late July.

Double headers will try to be scheduled to limit the amount of traveling. We anticipate the games will be held in Burlington, Muscatine, Iowa City, and Davenport. We anticipate 3-5 days of traveling per season for the IPSL leagues.

Practices

2 per week in the spring and fall seasons.
All outdoor practices will be held at the Burlington Rec-Plex.

Tryouts
The Elite Program is a select program, thus placement on a team in not guaranteed. More than one team in an age group will be formed if sign ups warrant it. If two teams are formed in an age group the player will be split into an “A” team and a “B” team.

Roster Size
Min 14 / Max 18
