About ACES

League Philosophy

Safe, Fun then Competitive

Bakersfield A.C.E.S. is a 6v6 short-sided recreational soccer league founded on the philosophy of "safe, fun, then competitive" soccer.  The family-friendly culture of the league is what we attribute our success to.  We play on Saturday nights and run three seasons that consist of 9 games plus a tournament:  Fall Season (September thru November)  Winter Season (January through March)  Spring Season (April through June)

The League is divided into 4 divisions:

Division A – Competitive

Skilled and competitive athletes

Division B – Competitive

Skilled play with the understanding that we all have to go to work on Monday

Division C – Recreational

Fun and casual recreational play for those of us that are not necessarily in as good a shape as we used to be!

Division D - Recreational

Fun for beginners new to soccer.  Husband and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends looking to come out, exercise and have some fun together.
