2020 BFC FALL ACADEMY

Please note:
We continue to monitor the COVID-19 global pandemic and its impact on sports in Vermont.  While we remain hopeful that our plans for the Fall, Winter and Spring programs will happen as planned, we are prepared to respond to the virus with contingency plans that prioritize the safety of all of our players, coaches and the BFC community. Our new payment structure allows for more flexibility in the event of another forced stop in play due to the COVID pandemic.
