Sports and arts for kids 4–10 on the SF Peninsula — and when to sign up.
119 programs from Menlo Park to San Jose, each checked against the organization’s own website in September 2026. No paid placements.
How much commitment are you ready for?
Professional club staff from the first program up; the destination for most Peninsula rec players who move to club.
Volunteer parent coaches with AYSO training; from U8 teams practice twice a week, more than most rec leagues.
Volunteer parent coaches; player evaluations for the upper divisions.
Full competitive ladder to national level; the "next step" after lessons for a child who loves the water.
Volunteer coaches; U10+ practice twice a week.
A real training ladder: the same school takes a 3-year-old through to pre-professional level.
Coached by the competitive club's staff and explicitly designed as the first rung of its pathway.
Same-day practice and game, one day a week. Good for a first taste; not a coaching ladder.
