CALIFORNIA KIDS CHAMPIONSHIP
Saturday, August 1, 2026
Thank you for wanting to be part of Dream on August 1! The only way to register now that this event has sold out would be to keep an eye on the competitor list. If the number of competitors drops below 1175, that means a spot has opened and you'd be able to sign up like normal on Smoothcomp. This option to take a spot if one opens will be available until registration officially closes on Saturday, July 25 at 11:59pm.
For all questions, corrections, or cancellations - please email us at dreambjj@gmail.com
The fifth tournament of the 2026 D-R-E-A-M Kids Gi medal series! This is for the “M” medal.
For the past 9 years of Dream Kids tournaments, every event has sold out as quickly as 8 minutes after opening registration. Always register as early as possible for any Dream tournaments to secure your child's spot!
ONLY follow the Official Schedule below, even if you see a different time in Smoothcomp. We follow this specific schedule that does not change throughout the day. We have also labeled each individual bracket with their Official Schedule time.
When a bracket is assigned to a mat on the event day shortly before its scheduled time, Smoothcomp will show a time that is different than what is on our Official Schedule, and we have no way of removing that feature. Please IGNORE that time.
Capacity:
1175 competitors
Theme:
Back to the Future
Every competitor will receive a complimentary themed shirt, poster, and lego that can be picked up at the Prize Table at the event.
Don’t forget to pick them up! We cannot mail any shirts, posters, or legos after the event.
Location:
Titan Gymnasium @ CSU Fullerton
800 N State College Blvd, Fullerton, CA 92831
Search for “Titan Gymnasium” in Apple Maps or Google Maps so that it directs you straight to our event instead of somewhere else in the school.
Parking (UPDATED ON 7/15):
The venue will not be charging for parking during the weekend of our event. Woohoo! You may still see QR codes to pay for parking but you can ignore those as those are only used on weekdays for now. The venue has assured us that they will NOT be enforcing paid parking during our event.

Please do not touch anything on the walls of the venue.
