Friendship/Rec+ Team FAQs
|
| |
- In conjunction with Green Country Soccer Association, BASC offers members the opportunity to form teams based on relationships outside of the club; such as those found in neighborhoods, schools, churches, scouts or other community organizations. These teams are "friendship" teams or, as more commonly known, Rec + teams. Rec + teams compete in the GCSA Rec + division which typically offers a higher level of competition than regular (closed or open) recreational soccer leagues. In contrast to recreational teams, the rosters of Rec + teams are formed by the team’s head coach under the guidelines listed below rather than rosters formed under the Club’s Recreational Team Formation Guidelines.
|
| |
- No, Rec + teams are still considered recreational teams and must comply with the requirements for such. All players must play at least ½ of each match and recruiting of players is strictly controlled by the current BASC Standing Resolutions regard such.
|

- Rec+ teams participate in recreational soccer. Tryouts are strictly forbidden and all Rec+ players are afforded the same Players Right to Play as Recreational players (i.e. all players must participate in at least 50% of the allotted game time each game).
- Submission to BASC/GCSA of Rec+ teams must be applied for by the team’s Head Coach via submission of a BASC Friendship Team/Rec+ Roster Form to the BASC Registrar (the form is available on-line or at the BASC office). Players will not be placed on Rec+ rosters without a completed player detail and parent/guardian signature on file with the BASC Registrar. Requests for Playing Up shall be accompanied by a completed GCSA Recreational Play Up Request Form and are subject to the same conditions as Recreational players.
- Head Coaches are responsible for submission of a newly completed Rec+ roster form to the BASC Registrar each Fall season and submission of any roster changes each Spring season by the close of the normal registration period.
- Recruiting of players for Rec+ teams shall be in strict compliance with the BASC Standing Resolutions regarding such.
- Following the late registration period, players already registered and having current team affiliation will not be permitted to be added to Rec+ team rosters (this is to prevent the late “raiding” of recreation team rosters).
- Rec+ teams are permissible for U9 and older teams (due to the fact that there is no place other than BASC Closed Rec league for U6, U7 or U8 the formation of Rec+ teams in these age groups could cause great disparity in competition with no option to remedy through placement in higher divisions).
- BASC is not responsible for ensuring Rec+ team rosters are complete and correct. Players not listed on the submitted form(s) will be released from the team roster.
- Submission of Rec+ rosters to BASC/GCSA following the GCSA team submission deadline may incur a penalty payable by the team.
- Teams choosing to register as a Rec+ team for the spring season must place all players returning from the Fall team roster onto the new Rec+ team; unless a player’s parent or guardian requests placement on another Recreational team.
- Players may be added to a Rec+ roster in the Spring or Fall so long as the BASC maximum number of players for the applicable age class is not exceeded.
- Top tier Rec+ teams may apply for inclusion in the GCSA 1st Competitive Division. Approval of such applications will be the sole responsibility/authority of Green Country Soccer Association. The applicable GCSA form must be submitted to the BASC Registrar prior to the GCSA deadline.

- Yes – registration of Rec + teams are open until the close of Normal Registration. If the upcoming season is the Fall season the roster may be comprised of new and/or existing players so long as the maximum roster size for the age group is not exceeded. If the upcoming season is the Spring season all returning players from the Fall season must be included on any new Rec + team roster. BASC makes this requirement to ensure that players are not "cut" from a current recreational team to make room for players on a new Rec + roster.
|
| |
- As long as the player resides within the BASC club boundaries and meets the age requirements set forth by Green Country Soccer Association they can participate on a Rec+ team.
|
| |
- No, Rec+ teams participate in recreational soccer and tryouts are strictly forbidden. Open training sessions can be construed as "tryouts" & will are not allowed by BASC. Recruiting of players is also restricted during open seasons so that Rec + team officials may not approach or otherwise recruit recreational players assigned to another team.
|
| |

- Coaches need to ensure players register online and detail the team and coach’s name in the “Notes” section of the electronic registration.
- All Rec + teams must submit new forms each Fall season. Fall forms may be updated or revised for the Spring season.
- BASC is not responsible for ensuring all players listed on a Rec + form registered.

|
| |

- Matches scheduled as Home games will be played at Indian Springs Soccer Complex and matches scheduled as Away games will be played at the home match sites of the opposing team.
|
| |
- If a Rec + team performs poorly in the Rec + league, or loses a significant number of players between seasons, the team’s head coach may request a return to the BASC Closed Rec or GCSA Open Rec league. The request will be considered by the BASC board, and GCSA if applicable, which will base its decision upon the number of returning players, the team’s previous records, the level of competition in the available GCSA Open and Rec + leagues and the impact upon the BASC Closed or GCSA Open Rec league. Alternatively the team may be disbanded and the players allowed to return to the BASC recreational player pool for assignment to another team.
|
| |
- Registered players already affiliated with another team may be transferred to a Rec + roster so long as the Rec + Form is submitted prior to the close of the Normal Registration period. Following this date no affiliated players already registered will be allowed to be transferred to a Rec + roster.
|
| |
- There is no additional cost for the player or team. The $75 registration fee is all that is required.
