BBGC offers both Intramural (rec level) and County (more advanced) soccer programs in the spring and fall each year.

Our Intramural league places all registered players onto Co-Ed teams which will play against each other on fields in Bowie.  A brief session is played in the spring starting in early March.  In the fall, a longer season starts in early September and runs through early November.  

Your child must have turned 4 by 3/1/2012 to play BBGC spring soccer.

Teams practice up to two times each week with games held on Saturdays.  Your team’s practice schedule will be determined by your assigned coach.  Therefore, please list any practice day conflicts in the registration system to ensure you are accommodated to the best of our ability.  

BBGC is an all-volunteer organization and the best way to ensure you get the schedule you want, is to step up and become a Coach.  Anyone interested in coaching in the Intramural program should contact me by February 29th, 2012.  Soccer@bbgc.com

The registration cutoff date for spring Soccer is March 10th, so please help spread the word to get all of your friends and family registered early.  

There will be a wait-list for all late registrations starting March 1st.  Your child's chances of being assigned a team will depend solely on the availability of new coaches to ensure teams are not overloaded with players. 

The only equipment required for your child is soccer shin pads.  Although it is very helpful to have soccer cleats, they are not mandatory.  Baseball and football cleats with a front cleat are not allowed for soccer.  

The game jersey will be the orange and black shirts provided only during the walk-in registration hours as noted on the main www.BBGC.com site. Coaches cannot pick up these shirts for you and they should be picked up before the season.  If you register online, make sure to get them before the start of the season.

We have moved to the soccer age brackets that are used by 95% of soccer clubs out there and will be designated as U5&6, U7&8, U9&10, U11&12, and U13-16.  The age cutoff will now be July 31st for each league.  Please use this chart below in order to determine your child’s fall soccer age.

Spring 2012 Age Group Chart

If you have a need to request a waiver to play out of your established age group, please provide your request to the appropriate commissioner below.  Generally, your child’s birthday must be within a month of the cutoff to play down an age group and within 12 months to play up.  

Intramural League Commissioners for Fall 2011

Our County Soccer program is the next level for our players.  We will have most of our teams playing in Anne Arundel Youth Soccer League.  County level teams are selected based on a tryout process taking place in mid-late February.   All players must be registered for fall soccer with BBGC to play on a County team.

There is a small additional fee for County players ($30-$75) and is dependent on individual team expenses.  We will have the fee posted when the tryout schedule is posted
