I've been playing soccer in the Albany 5-aside league for more than a year and it has been so much…read morefun! In fact, the Wednesday-night games are usually the highlight of me week. I love playing soccer, but I was intimidated to play in other leagues because I don't have a lot of experience. The Albany league is casual, yet highly organized. Its fun for everyone from beginners to seasoned players. You can get a great workout, meet new friends and reduce stress at the same time! The refs are very fair and make sure that a clean game is played to minimize injuries. The other nice thing about soccer is that it's co-ed 5-on-5 with open subbing (teams are usually made up of 8-10 people). So there's not a lot of pressure to put a big team together and it's usually ok if you have to miss a week or two. The registration fees are very fair. If you've ever thought about playing a team sport, I'd definitely look into this. They will even help match you up with a team. It's a great opportunity for people who are new to the Bay Area. So go for it! Sign up! Hope to see you on the field!

I would say if your goal is to meet new people and have some fun playing different games each week, then Play Recess is for you! If your goal is to join a super competitive league, then you should join Zog or something else. I've done three types of sports leagues in SF and here is how I see it (I'm sure it varies a bit sport to sport but this is what I have experienced). Play Recess - Most social - Least competitive SF Social - Medium social - Medium competitive Zog Sports - Least social - Most competitive

I played ZogSports volleyball for two seasons and thought the games were generally well organized…read more I enjoyed having a weekly game to look forward to, and it was a good amount of exercise and socializing. My team even got friendly enough to hit up a bar on occasion after a game and most of my original team even came to my birthday party. In the second season that I played, the organizers were starting to have some issues with facilities and also one game during which the referee didn't show. However they were otherwise quite professional. The locations tend to have convenient parking and the hours for games are reasonable. I was hoping to switch to their newly formed Sunday leagues but the most recent season of that got cancelled due to low enrollment. At this point I am looking into switching to a different sport or a local league by a different organization, but I'm glad I got my start here!

Occasionally you will have a couple of people who come into this league knowing how to play volleyball but are there anyways for an ego boost. If you are new to volleyball, read here. Yes, this league may be a good starting point as it's very beginner-level play, it's good for work teams and meeting new people. But you won't want to be here for long. There are the occasional try-hards that will come into the league to feel good about themselves by hitting hard and running plays on a net that's lower than women's height. Another downside is that some of these players think they can play but in fact they are very dangerous and make it very unsafe. Landing under the net and causing ankle sprains when you block is very common here. So play smart, watch out for others. If you have some volleyball experience and understand the game, read here. This league is very poorly run. You have one ref that does not understand the rules of volleyball. No calls are made, clear doubles where the ball is spiraling, crazy players who jump and land under the net, and players touching the net and lifts. You call your own lines, so in and out calls are all on you and the other team. The ref literally is there to just blow the whistle for serve and then flip the score. They dont even have anyone setting up the nets for you as well, so you need to set it up yourself. The net is literally lower than womens height. So if you're here playing with some new friends who are learning to play, have some integrity to play to the level of others and be safe. I played in this league before it became Zog (Dynamic sports) id say it has changed but not for the better. Same stuff as it was 5-6 years ago. If you are looking for some better play there are other leagues out there. Campbell Community center used to have a good one they may or may not still be running. Then there's IVL if you're looking for competitive play. Zog by far is the most expensive league and the total amount of games you play in the season is less than all these other leagues I mentioned. So if you're factoring bang for your buck. Zog is definitely not that.

They take too many kids on their regional teams and do not have trained staff or facilities to manage everyone. The first year we had a player's parent who had been a CYO coach' for 1 season (we still paid full fee) and the second we had a coach that blatantly favored girls on and off the court. When it was brought up by various parents it went unaddressed. In a meeting with me the director did admit that she allowed players preferential treatment because it was easier than fighting with a parent and "she does not like confrontation." It is a shame that the club is not more invested in being transparent about how they choose and play kids. The level of play from team to team is often based on carpool requests and not skill. One parent said many times that "whoever screams the loudest gets what they want." A real detriment to the other players and the kids who love volleyball.

To top it off all the proceeds go to Street Soccer USA, a non-profit for the homeless. Competition wise it's pretty competitive and I've heard they'll soon have different divisions which will be even better. Highly recommend this league!

Our future and present little leaguers can call this their second home. It truly takes a village, and I'm so happy we've been apart of this village. Many thanks to Steve Knudsen for carrying on his dad's legacy and coaching the SMCLL teams. And a round of applause to coach Jack Schwartz for being instrumental in supporting the baseball program throughout the years, rooting on the kids, and organizing the parades in Sausalito. It was emotional when our son grew up, and moved on to other sports like football & basketball, yet his heart will always be apart of this magical field. Now that he's in high school, he still dedicates his time to umpire little league teams from Sausalito to San Rafael. Perhaps, he will coach the kids one day, make it a father & son dynamic duo. This was our son's life, everyday after school, practicing & playing baseball, when it was Bayside at Willowcreek Academy. It became our lives and many early Saturday mornings...takes alot for me to get motivated on the weekends. Check out these links for more history on Konrad Knudsen. Wish we had more inspirational people like him, and a true passion for teaching young kids baseball and keeping them out of trouble. These days I see the parents on their phones, not engaging with their kids at the games, and it makes me sad. Kids grow up so fast, time flies, and there's no way to turn back precious time. Live in the moment! https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/marinij/obituary.aspx?n=konrad-knudsen&pid=172342134 http://www.sausalitohistoricalsociety.com/2020-columns/2020/3/11/little-league-memories
