The very first Ballistic United Soccer Club Opening Day Parade took place in 1969! This Saturday – August 21 – the 51st version of the parade will take place, once again featuring hundreds of youth soccer players in costumes marching down Main St. starting at 7:30 a.m.
We are looking for volunteers for the following spots:
- Parade Route Monitors (6am-8:30am)
- Age Group Sign Holders (6:30am-End of parade)
- Set-up/Cleanup (6am-End of parade)
Please contact brianmorin@busc.org if you are able to volunteer. We thank you for all your support!
The schedule for the day of the event is as follows:
- 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 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.
- 7:30am: Parade starts.
- 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.
- o Make sure empty donut boxes, cups, etc find a trash can or are packed out.
- Please do not create costumes that shed – NO feathered boas, beads, or tinsel,
We hope to see you out there this Saturday supporting this long time Pleasanton tradition! Below is a map of the parade route!
