In the early years the team didn't play in a official championship because of lack of money and played only friendlies. In 1935-36 the club played in the "campionato unico per dilettanti".

The club played in this championship until to 1945. In 1945 Bastia played in Prima Divisione. In 1947-48 the team was promoted to Serie C but the team was forced to renounce to it because of economical problems. In 1948-49 the club played in Prima Divisione, in 1949-50 in seconda divisione. In 1952-53 the club played in Prima Divisione because prima divisione was merged with seconda divisione.

In 1953-54 Bastia played in "promozione regionale". Afrer two years in Promozione the team was promoted in 1955-56 to IV Serie (Serie D) after winning the promotion playoff against Gubbio. In the first year in IV Serie the club managed to avoid relegation but at the end of the 1957-58 season the club was relegated to Promozione after losing relegation playoffs against Rotulea and Perugia.

Three seasons later Bastia won the "Promozione Umbria" championship but renounced to the promotion to Serie D. In the 1962-63 the team arrived 2nd in Promozione and won the "Coppa Umbria". The club remained in Promozione until to the 1971-72 season. In that season the team was relegated. At the end of the season the club failed.
