COMPETITIVE OVERVIEW
The Competitive leagues are for those players who want to play and train at a more competitive level. There are up to four levels of Competition, Division 1, Division 2, Division 3, and Division 4. BRSC coaches place players according to skill level during the BRSC Player Placement Process. The goal is to put kids in an environment where they compete with and against similar levels of play. Training is run by well-qualified, licensed, and highly trained coaches whose goal is to provide the best soccer environment possible. These teams will play in a statewide league and compete for state championships at various levels.
COMPETITIVE - PLAYER PATHWAY
The Player Pathway is the hierarchy of programs established by BRSC to provide players with the opportunity to advance to the highest levels of play. Each step builds upon the previous one to assist players with skill development and tactical understanding as they transition to the next level of play. BRSC Competitive Program is for players who wish to compete for league, state, and regional titles in a challenging environment. Exceptional players can advance to the Elite level of play.
COMPETITIVE TEAM CAMP
Each year, BRSC kicks off the season with the yearly Competitive Team Camp. The Competitive Team Camp is a great way to begin the year and introduce new and returning faces to BRSC for the upcoming season. Each day will last around 2 hours during the morning (8:30 - 10:30 am).
During this week of Team Camp, Director Marvin Smith will present a new parent meeting for those members joining BRSC for the first time during that year.
