Ace & Bass: 4 for 4
Date: 9/19/2026
Time: 9AM - All Day!
Location: North Courts, North Ave Beach
Welcome To Year Four Of Ace & Bass!
Can you guys believe it?! What an amazing community that continues to grow and give back.
This year we are changing it up a bit. We are only doing the tournament portion as 4v4 this year, marking our 4th year!
Don't worry my lovely 2s players, there will still be open courts for pickup as always, and more will free up as the brackets develop.
Please register ASAP for your spot in the tournament and remember, it's blind draw!
We want to capture the essence of our Summer Saturdays by welcoming friends & teammates, new & old. It will be co-ed and you can select competitive or casual for level of play (it's not just skillset, it's the vibe you want for the day!).
You'll get an email with all the details on rules, check in, prizes, etc. Shoutout to Miss Isabel for the brains & execution of the brackets! It's $5 to sign up as a player, and you get your $ back if you bring a communal gallon of water to check in.
The whole event is free for everyone!
Bring your friends, family, let's make it a day to remember.
This year we will have 2 local DJs and a local band as always!
We are combining forces and communities with Lets Do Fun Things and with that comes a lot of fun new side games.
Food from local businesses, the return of everyone's favorite snow cone truck, giveaways and merch, and a few more little surprises for everyone!
Please bring snacks, water, sunscreen, and shade even though we do our best to provide some for you all.
