SAFE SPORT STARTS WITH US.

Big Country Soccer Association remains committed to providing a safe, supportive, and respectful environment for every participant involved in the game.

That includes:
⚽ Players
⚽ Coaches
⚽ Volunteers
⚽ Parents
⚽ Match Officials — including our young mini referees who are learning and developing alongside our players.

Youth sports should be built on:
✔️ Respect
✔️ Encouragement
✔️ Leadership
✔️ Development
✔️ Community

Mistakes are part of learning — for players, coaches, and officials alike.

As adults, our responsibility is not only to teach the game, but to model the behavior, sportsmanship, and leadership we hope young athletes will carry with them both on and off the field.

Together, we all play a role in ensuring soccer remains a positive experience where every participant feels:
❤️ Safe
❤️ Valued
❤️ Supported
❤️ Respected

Thank you to all clubs, coaches, volunteers, parents, and match officials who continue helping build a positive culture throughout our district.

⚽❤️ HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY ❤️⚽

Behind every practice, game, tournament, road trip, and sideline moment is someone helping make it all possible.

Today, we celebrate the moms, grandmas, guardians, and supporters who give so much of themselves to help young athletes chase their dreams and build lifelong memories through sport.

Thank you for:
❤️ The early mornings
❤️ The long drives
❤️ The endless encouragement
❤️ The sideline cheers
❤️ The unwavering support

Your impact reaches far beyond the field.

From all of us at Big Country Soccer Association:
❤️ Happy Mother’s Day.

BCSA PLAYERS (11–16)… THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.

Airdrie and District Soccer Association is preparing teams for Alberta Summer Games Zone 2 Big Country.

Evaluations are next weekend, May 2nd & 3rd in Airdrie, AB. Registration must be complete online @ [https://albertasoccer.com/competitions/alberta-summer-games/](https://albertasoccer.com/competitions/alberta-summer-games/)

This isn’t just an evaluation.
This is your chance to step forward, stand out, and level up your game.

Whether you're chasing the next level, building confidence, or just want to test yourself—this is where it starts.

WHY EVALUATIONS MATTER
This is about more than making a team… it’s about understanding YOU as a player.

Through the evaluation process, you’ll learn:

✅ What you do really well (your strengths)
✅ What you can improve to reach the next level
✅ How you perform in real game situations
✅ Your decision-making and game awareness
✅ Your speed, effort, and competitiveness
✅ How you support teammates and communicate
✅ What it takes to grow, compete, and succeed

THIS IS YOUR CHALLENGE
Show up ready.
Work hard.
Be coachable.
Compete with confidence.

Because the goal isn’t just to be picked…
👉 it’s to become better.

REMEMBER:
Every great player started by stepping into moments like this.
This is where you find out what you're made of.

BCSA sees potential. Now it’s your turn to show it.

U9 Competitive Guidelines – Updated for 2026!

Big Country Soccer Association is excited to announce that the U9 Competitive Guidelines have officially been updated for the upcoming season!

These updates are all about creating a better, more consistent, and development-focused experience for our players across the district.

What’s New:

- Updated field dimensions & layout
- Standardized 7v7 format (including goalkeeper)
- Clear team roster sizes (Min: 7 | Max: 12)

These changes reflect how our teams are already playing and help align our district with the game as it continues to grow.

A big thank you to Justin Tersteeg (Didsbury Minor Soccer) for his contribution to this update—this is what a member-driven district looks like.

Full guideline available here: https://bigcountrysa.com/news/111927

This is YOUR district.
Clubs, coaches, and members all play a role in shaping the game for our players.

Let’s keep building something special together.
