BSC is an opportunity for your child to grow in his/her love of the game in a setting with classmates and close friends. BSC is not affiliated with any club and intends to focus solely on creating an extension of your "backyard". Camp Instructors: Mark Twellman (Head Soccer Coach at St. James Academy) and High School aged soccer players.
