Opening Day Parade – 54th Year!

2024-08-09T15:31:34-07:00May 18th, 2024|

Opening Day ParadeAugust 17th, 2024 – 7:30 AM START!

The first Pleasanton Youth Soccer Parade took place in 1969 and we are very excited to continue this tradition for its 54th anniversary! The parade has become a fun event for all Pleasanton families to enjoy and we hope you will all join us in this great chance to bond as one community.

Schedule

  • 6:45am: If you are attending the parade this year, please arrive at St. Mary and Main in downtown Pleasanton to line up and assemble with your team.
    • Teams will line up by age group, the youngest in the front and the oldest in the back.
    • RAGE teams will line up on one half of the street, BUSC on the other.
    • Arrive early as parking can be difficult, and lining the teams up takes some time. Teams MUST be in line by 7:30am to participate.
  • 7:30am: Parade starts at 7:30 am sharp!
    • Route: South on Main, west on Angela, north on Peters, end at Peters and St. Mary.
  • Keep our downtown clean
    • Please do not create costumes that shed – NO feathered boas, beads, or tinsel, all of which require hours of post-parade cleanup by members of our club.
    • Do not throw candy or trinkets – doing so is a violation of our parade permit.
    • Clean up trash – Make sure empty donut boxes, cups, etc find a trash can or are packed out. We suggest teams who bring disposable items also bring a trash bag as street trash cans become full VERY fast.

RAGE & HERS Limited Sweaty Bands

2021-10-21T14:39:32-07:00October 11th, 2021|

Hello RAGE Players, Families and Members,

Thank you all for the continued interest in and orders for the custom Sweaty Bands available in our “PleasantonRAGE” Etsy store.  While have sold out of the RAGE/HERS band in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month, we do have RAGE club only bands still available.  Additionally, while our first scheduled pickup this past Monday 10/18 at Bernal Sports Park saw many stop by, we still have several outstanding orders we’d like to “deliver” to our wonderful club members.  So, let’s schedule pickup day #2 for this upcoming Monday 10/25 at Bernal Sports Park (formerly Patelco) between 7-8:30 pm.  For those that will struggle to make this time work, please open your order within Etsy and “message” us directly from within.  From there, we’ll effort to work out an alternate plan!  That said, please do try to pop by Bernal for pickup this upcoming Monday, as it should only take a minute or two.  This includes any that would like to buy real-time at Bernal.  Again, all transactions are through our Etsy store (no cash, no checks, no venmo, etc) so you’ll need to have the app set up to buy, with your order notification to us being immediate, so we’ll just hand it to you!  (A few of you did this last Monday and the complete transaction took only a few seconds!)

As always, thanks again for your tremendous support and interest in both the RAGE/HERS and RAGE club Sweaty Bands.  See you next Monday 10/25 from 7-8:30pm at Bernal fields for pickup #2!

Thanks, RAGE
