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).

My first season with Play in the Bay and it was SO FUN…read more Decided to start a kickball team on a whim with some friends after seeing that there was a kickball league playing in the marina. Virtually all of us were new to SF leagues, and definitely not kickball stars in the slightest. Registration for play in the bay was easy and communication was clear. Cliff Thomas is an amazing organizer and a great ref. Vincent was another great ref we had quite a few times. My team had a fantastic time playing in this league, and felt constantly encouraged to improve and have fun. The cold, foggy weather that constantly hung over the little marina green field couldn't even get us down. Heading to Silver Clouds after every game to play flip cup was a blast as well. We're all already looking forward to next season! Thanks Play in the Bay!

No surprise there really... this city is teeming (ha!) with competitive people. Which brings to mind this sweet lil' vid: http://fourfour.typepad.com/fourfour/2008/07/im-not-here-to.html. I have played volleyball, bowling, and coed flag football teams through GGSS, and they have always been well organized, and altogether really, really fun. The Little Marina Green Volleyball league introduced me to one-armed grass Volleyball: challenging. I played vball in college so playing it on the grass with a can of beer and a cigarette hanging out of my mouth was actually a new and exciting challenge. Bowling introduced me to bowling pin shaped beer bottles at Presidio Bowl. Score. Co-ed flag football introduced me to my butchy, masculine side which is scarier than most women's because I stand 6' tall. Amazon. Scary. This happened specifically when I accidentally flipped some dude over my shoulder as he was trying to pass me with the football. The great part of these leagues is that it's almost a sin to not go out to grab a bite to eat and a few beers after the game to reverse what little exercise you may have just had. It's totally worth the team fees and time commitment.

My gripes are really towards the field conditions. I understand that the fields will be turf because it'd be a huge expense to have to constantly seed and water and cut grass. The field conditions are just really bad. I'm the goalie for my team, and there are so many random dips and holes in the penalty area on both fields. Even when I go to do a pitch inspection before the games, I check the dips, and I'm still caught by surprise by how low the dips are. Then, when you talk about the outfield, there are too many dips and holes. My coworkers have gotten injured way too often from unsafe playing conditions. From twisted ankles and sprained calves, it's way too much. Management really needs to invest in resurfacing the fields.

The online reservation process was a breeze and they were very accommodating with our dates. One suggestion for improvement: The arm guards for archery could really use an upgrade. It'd make the game a lot more fun if we didn't have to worry about getting bruises on the forearm. Tips for Yelpers who are considering booking: 1. Do not eat before the game (it's very tempting as the location is right next to a food truck park). 2. Consider bringing your own arm guards. 3. Do stretch before and after the game, you'd thank yourself the next day. 4. Enjoy!

Fortunately, all those years of watching Sharks hockey and emulating the great Mike Vernon and Evgeni Nabokov paid off. BASH is an ultra-competitive league played in both the fall and summer at James Lick Middle School. Fall league (Sept. - Apr.) consists of 3 games (9am, 11am, 1pm) played most Saturdays between the six teams in the league. The summer league (May - Aug.) has 2 games (10am, 12pm) on Saturdays between the four teams. Skill level ranges from beginner to some dudes with ridiculous skill. It will take 10-15 games (at the very least) to get used to the intricacies of the playing field, the rules, and most importantly, the players and their tendencies. There are a lot of good guys in the league, the veterans are cool (and won't openly ridicule you if you suck), and it's a good place to talk hockey. What more could you want? Check out this clip for an idea of the gameplay (it's way more intense when you're actually playing)..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i6EZtiHtk4

Well organized and run by volunteers who really love the game of baseball and more importantly love teaching kids to love baseball. This league has everything from complete beginners to elite competition. They will start you with the basics at age 6, a just for fun league where your kids can learn the basics in a non-competitive league, and finish you off, years down the road, in a league that could take you to the Little League World series. The coaches are all volunteer, they love coaching and helping kids learn to love the sport, and parents are encouraged to take part in "coaching" in the lower leagues. The fees are cheap ($125 for the season which includes uniform), the fields are awesome with the bulk of the games being played somewhere on the Presidio (amazing views), and your kids learn teamwork, sports skills, and get exercise. Everybody wins!

SFLL is nothing short of amazing especially when you consider it's an all-volunteer organization…read more They manage to set up dozens of teams for boys and girls of all abilities from ages 6-14, provide subsidies for low-income kids, and field games for every team throughout San Francisco every dry weekend and for weekday practices during their spring and fall leagues, despite a limited number of fields and short staffing and less-than-ideal field maintenance by Rec & Parks. The price for what you get is an incredible bargain. Special events include the spring opening day parade through the Marina where each team has its own "float," followed by an all-League picnic on Marina Green, and a special Little League Day with the Giants at AT&T Park. Umpires do their best to be fair, and I have yet to run into a parent who was not positive and encouraging toward every kid on both teams. Not every coach is going to be the most awesome your kid has ever experienced, but you have to respect and feel grateful to these people for being so giving of their time, energy and organizational skills.
