BUSC Newsletter - September 15, 2021

On the heels of a busy BUSC summer, we are happy to be starting this fall back in school and on the field. With several weeks of BUSC camps and an exciting return to competition with the BUSC Summer Classic, it was great to see our players and families in person again. Fall 2021 league play has begun for our comp teams, with the State Cup tournament on the horizon, and BUSC Rec has begun, topping out at 700. We want our BUSC families to know that while we are excited to be back to what we hope will be a normal seasonal year, we are still constantly monitoring local COVID guidelines and restrictions, and will continue to make decisions with the wellbeing of our community at the forefront. Read on for more BUSC news, and don't hesitate to reach out to our team below with any questions or concerns.
