The Big Lake Soccer Association (BLSA) objective is to provide the opportunity boys and girls to play soccer at a fun and recreational level. We are dedicated to developing sportsmanship, teamwork, discipline and physical skills through soccer in all players.
We are a non-profit organization (501C3), we have bylaws and a Board to direct and manage club activities. All staff are hardworking volunteers and all fees go directly toward club activities.
The game: The small-sided game modifications are made for the recreational program. The size of the playing field, players per side, size of ball and the goal is reduced in size to match the size of the players. Small-sided games are favored for the following reasons:
- Skill development is enhanced because of frequent contact on the ball.
- Fast acting fun with more actual playing time and real game action.
- Excitement is promoted by less time to achieve or advance the ball towards the goal.
- Exercise is key since players play both offense and defense.
- The available field space is better maximized to serve all youth.

The Big Lake Soccer Association is proud to provide the opportunity for the youth of Big Lake and surrounding communities to play traveling (competitive) soccer in the fall. We are members in good standing with the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (www.mnyouthsoccer.org) Both boys and girls (U9 to U12) will get to play competitive games versus other traveling teams in MYSA’s North District. Practices will be during the week with league games on the weekend (Saturday and/or Sunday).
As the summer winds down and school gears up, a great way to keep the kids moving and active during the fall months.
