BFR continues regular season indoor soccer, flag football

Limitations to spectators; flag football, indoor soccer tourney cancelled for March 15
Posted by Fred Steiner on March 13, 2020 - 11:52am

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.
