BFR continues regular season indoor soccer, flag football
In response to COVID-19 and the current order on mass gatherings we have made the following decisions at this time:
1) Regular season games for indoor soccer and flag football scheduled for Saturday will still be played. We ask that spectators are limited to 1 per athlete. We know this isn't ideal but it's the only way to stay under the mass gatherings guidelines while still allowing the athletes to play.
2) Tournament games for indoor soccer and for flag football set to begin Sunday March 15th are CANCELLED. Unfortunately we don't see a way to stay under the mass gathering order for tournaments. Credits will be issued for an arena rental to be used at a later date for each team registered for Winter Session 3 leagues.
Please know that we are doing our best to honor the state's decision and putting the health of our members, athletes, and community first.
We will continue to update regarding youth programs and other BFR activities as more decisions are made. At the moment all programs, group exercise classes, and building hours will operate as normal. Unfortunately at this time we will not be offering guest passes effective March 13 through April 3.
