BAA Youth Soccer is organized as an affordable, inclusive youth soccer program for players of all skill levels, with no competitive tryouts for players and organized youth sports offered without tryouts and without regard to ability at a cost designed to remain affordable. Soccer divisions are based on the player’s grade in the upcoming school year. Playoffs and tournaments are offered for Cubs and Juniors levels. All players at the Mites level must play at least half of the game, with an exception possible for late arriving players, and no heading is allowed at the Cubs level.
For Mini-Mites, Mites, and Cubs, BAA provides a jersey, and players or teams are not to alter BAA-provided shirts. Players must provide shin guards, socks that completely cover shin guards, shorts, and well-fitting athletic shoes, and soccer cleats are not required. Baseball cleats or metal cleats are not allowed. Mini-Mites and Mites use size #3 soccer balls, and Cubs use size #4 soccer balls, and players are asked to provide their own ball if possible because there are a limited number of team balls. Parents must remain on-site with children during instruction and games. For Mini-Mites and Mites, rain-outs or weather cancellations will not be rescheduled, and for Cubs, rain-outs will be rescheduled on the Friday evening or Saturday of the next week. Formal certification is not required for BAA recreational soccer referees, and training is provided.
