Frequently Asked Questions

Teams are formed based on age divisions to ensure players compete with others similar age and skill level players. All players are placed on teams through a random draft process. We do not accept coach or team request - this helps keep soccer fair, balanced, and fun for everyone. 

Age guidelines: 

• Players may play up one age bracket if desired
• Players are not allowed to play down in a younger division - NO EXCEPTIONS

Friend Request:

• If your player is new to BISA and has never played before, they may request to be placed with a friend. 
• Friend requests are not guaranteed and may not be honored if - The requested team is already full, the player is needed to fill a roster on another team, the player is not new to BISA.

Please note that ride share request cannot be accommodated. Our goal is to create a positive, fair, and community-centered environment for all players while keeping teams balanced and enjoyable.
