Black Swamp Soccer League- BFR soccer teams participate in the  Black Swamp Soccer League, part of the Ohio Youth Soccer Association North.  Teams are recreational in philosophy and players from  area school districts are welcome (as long as their community does not have an existing program for that season).  Visit the website for Ohio Youth soccer, by clicking here.

    Coaches and parents are welcome to participate on the committee.  Meetings are held prior to the fall and spring seasons to assign players, plan fund raisers, and set policy for the Bluffton program.

    Chairperson: Ron Koontz
