The Bakersfield Striker’s Club was established and registered with USSFA and CYSA-South in April 1999. We started in 1998 as an AYSO Spring Select team, and decided we wanted the two things AYSO could not give us. One was to play at a level that would give these talented boys the opportunity to play at the next level (high school) when the time comes. The other was to provide, for the players and their parents, the continuity that is so essential to the game; in order to field the most competitive teams we can.

 

In the fall of 2005, the Bakersfield Strikers Club was formally changed to the Bakersfield Brigade Youth Soccer Club.  In an effort to strengthen our Youth Club, additional boys and girl teams will be created, in the near future. If interested in joining an existing team, or forming a new one, please contact Kathryn Ferguson at kferguson@bbysc.com.  

 

SEASON – Established teams will begin training for our upcoming season in March to prepare for Cal South State/National Cup and tournaments. Our teams that are not participating in high school continue to practice through the winter months to prepare for tournaments.  We will have tryouts to form new teams and add players to existing teams in March.  The 2009-2010 season begins in September, 2009.  The teams play in Coast Soccer League, Golden Empire Soccer League and Bakersfield Girls Soccer League. We train a minimum of twice a week minimum plus games.

 

COST – The Bakersfield Brigade Youth Soccer Club does not have any club registration fees or affiliation fees.  Your players will be billed monthly dues to cover the cost of the team expenses such as Coaching, Referees, Cal South Fees, Field Use Fees, etc during the season for the months of August through April.  The uniform kit is $145.
