2. Where do I pick up my tickets?
Your team manager will have a packet with an envelope for each player.
3. When are my tickets due?
All competitive member tickets given out in packets are due on Wednesday, March 20th at 2PM. This means we need your ticket stubs, and cash/checks for the 10 raffle tickets sold or remaining. If you want to purchase or sell over your 10 tickets you will be able to do so up until this time and date.
4. I have sold my tickets ahead of schedule. How do I turn in my tickets, money, or

Please turn your ticket stubs and cash/check into your team manager or the BRSC office as soon as you have sold your tickets.

Our expectation is that each competitive member will sell 10 tickets. We ask that you make every effort to do so. With the price point of tickets and the set up as a club fundraiser, members should be able to sell 10 tickets. If you absolutely can’t sell the tickets, then we ask that you return the tickets to your manager ASAP, so the club can attempt to sell those tickets.

If you lose your raffle tickets, please request extra tickets by contacting Hannah Gill at 225-924-2157.
Additional Rec. Weekly Training
Get additional training sessions under the direction of BRSC staff coaches in BRSC Rec Plus. Rec Plus allows recreational players U6-U12 (2012 -2018) the opportunity to attend one or two sessions with the BRSC Academy Program at the Burbank Campus.
It is the perfect opportunity for recreational players to receive additional training during the season to work on skills not typically covered in team practices. BRSC Rec Plus training sessions will help expand the player’s understanding of the game and focus on age-appropriate skills and tactics.
The cost for a recreational player to attend one training session (on Tuesday or Thursday) for ten (10) weeks, in addition to the recreational fee, is $185. The cost for a player to attend two training sessions on both Tuesday and Thursday each week for ten (10) weeks is $285. Recreational teams can also choose to participate as a group. It’s a great way to get in extra training sessions under the professional tutelage of certified coaches.
Please note that Rec Plus is a separate registration from BRSC Recreational Soccer. Players who wish to participate in both must register for both programs.

BRSC Rec PlusSummer Soccer Camps
Registration is now open for BRSC 2024 Summer Camps. The BRSC Summer Camp aims to help develop players’ skills through learning exercises that utilize functional training games to teach individual techniques, skills, and tactics through creative and motivating sessions.
The 2024 Camp will return to Premier Soccer Center to ensure no rainouts! We will utilize indoor and outdoor space adjacent to Premier to ensure weather will never be a factor for camp.
Our morning sessions focus on the skills of passing, dribbling, shooting, attacking, defending, and ball control. In the afternoon sessions, we will build on technique and concentrate on the tactical aspects of soccer. To register or learn more, visit the BRSC Summer Camp page.
