NEW UNIFORMS

BGFA will be updating our uniform design for the upcoming Summer Season.  We have included the cost of the new jersey in your registration fee ($60). We are in the final design for our new uniforms and hope to have a board vote on this at our February 2024 Board Meeting.

All players 8U & up will need a uniform.

6U players do not require a uniform as t-shirts are ordered for this age group. 

The processing fees are set by Sports Engine and are 3% + $1.50 per transaction. 

2. DIBS- We rely on volunteers to run our Bison Showdown Tournament in June. This tournament allows us to keep registration cost down, and provide players opportunities for training in the offseason. Below are the required hours per age group / player. Dib hours are still being reviewed by the BGFA board and are subject to change if needed.  If you are unable to fulfill this requirement, the cc used for registration will be charged $500. 

*6U: 4 hours per player (4 hour family max or $500)

*8U: 6 hours per player (12 hour family max or $500)

*10U-18U: 8 hours per player (16 hour family max or $500)

3. Volunteer Checks: Instead of collecting checks your CC will be charged $1.00 at time of registration.  If you DO NOT fulfill your DIBS requirement, your CC will be charged the remaining amount on following DIBS calculations

Please let us know if you have any questions.  The BGFA Board is looking forward to another great summer of softball!
