We believe play is a right, not a privilege. That’s why Bring Back Play uses a
“pay what you can” model so every kid can join in, no matter what.

San Anselmo Free Play Fridays
Launching Spring 2026
Fridays 3:20-6:00pm
$9 per event, or pay what you can
Check back soon for location
Kids run the show — parents relax and hang out. No refs, no drills, no pressure — just open fields, endless games, and freedom to play how they want. Parents can drop off and leave or hang out at the plaza adjacent to the field— either way, the kids will leave sweaty, smiling, and full of stories.
Novato Free Play Sundays
Launching Spring 2026
Sundays 3:30pm - 6:00pm
$9 per event, or pay what you can
Check back soon for location
Free play for kids and free time for parents. No schedule. No structure. Just wide-open fields, piles of gear, and room for imagination. Kids build forts, invent games and form their own little world — while parents kick back and actually relax. Parents can drop off and leave or hang out at the plaza adjacent to the field.
Marin Middle School Pickup Sports League
Reviving old school pickup games
We set up the space and equipment for the specific sport (basketball, soccer, baseball etc) the kids take it from there. They decide teams, manage disputes and keep score (if they want). Just enough structure to get a real game going but still fully kid-led - no coaches, refs or parents involved.
