The Bakersfield Brigade Youth Soccer Club (www.bbysc.com), announced today that the 1st Annual Blacktop Battle Street Soccer Tournament and Father’s Day Fiesta will be held on June 14th and 15th at Stramler Park (3805 Chester Avenue). This event includes a two day 4v4 street soccer tournament and culminates with a festival in honor of Father’s Day on Sunday, June 15th.

 
“We are extremely excited to host this event,” stated BBYSC Director of Coaching, Marc Riley. “I think there is something for everyone here and we are looking forward to a great turnout,” added Riley. The Brigade has already booked live bands for the Father’s Day Fiesta that include popular rock band Secondhand Serenade; a renowned cover band of the late Johnny Cash, Cash’d Out; a notorious reggae band from Maryland, Positive Vibrations; and local Mariachi favorite, San Marcos. These bands are in addition to a variety of carnival booths that include human foosball, a petting zoo, the FIFA Xbox Lounge, Cotton Candy booth, and so much more. The event will also have great food catered by Chuy’s and drinks by the event’s title sponsor, Tecate. With live music, quality food and drinks, and a carnival atmosphere for the whole family, the Father’s Day Fiesta is sure to be a success. The cost of the Father’s Day Fiesta is only $5 and kids under 18 as well as Blacktop Battle participants are admitted free. The Blacktop Battle has competitive levels for every player. The street soccer tournament features youth brackets for kids Under 10 through Under 18 and adult brackets for Premier, Open, and Co-ed teams (4-6 players per team roster). The cost of the Blacktop Battle is $210 per adult team and $150 per youth team. There are cash prizes available for both the Men’s and Women’s Premier brackets and age specific prizes for the winners of each youth bracket. All proceeds benefit the Bakersfield Brigade Youth Soccer Club, which is a non-profit organization, and other local charities. Information on pre-sale tickets for the Father’s Day Fiesta and team registration for the Blacktop Battle can be found at www.bakersfieldbrigade/blacktopbattle.com or by calling (661) 410-KICK.
