BSC Player Divisions

Players are divided according to the age that they are in the calendar year that they are playing. As well, boys and girls have separate divisions after the age of 5.

The Divisions are generally the same each year, with minor changes occurring when final registration has been completed and the total number of players for each division can be determined. Any changes depend on the number of boys/girls registered for each age group. The Number of teams must be an even number to facilitate the scheduling of games and fields.

Team Rosters

Each Division is divided into teams. The number of teams depends on the total number of kids playing in that Division (or how many kids of that age group registered to play) keeping in mind that we need an even number of teams.

How do we select teams?

The Coach rates each player at the end of the season. The rating system looks at the individual’s performance over the entire summer and the coach selects either an ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’ as is appropriate. The following year, these ratings for the players are used to ensure that no one team is tremendously better, or worse, than any other.

For example, in the Girls Under 9 Division, teams may be comprised of 3 ‘A’ players, 6 ‘B’ players and 4 ‘C’ players. Each team in that Division would be comprised of the same numbers of ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ rated players. Only in this way can the teams be competitive and equal.
