Penmar just posted their Fall 2026 sports brochure - and if you've got a kid between 3 and 15, there's probably something on here for them. Basketball, soccer, volleyball, flag football. Co-Rec + GPLA (Girls Play LA) divisions. All $180 for the season, and PlayLA scholarships bring it down to $10 if you qualify (just ask).

Here's what you need to know before you hit register.
The big stuff
Registration opens the week of August 3rd - mark your calendar, spots go fast
First games start October 3rd (or 10/4 for GPLA soccer + Co-Rec basketball)
Evaluations happen the week of Aug 31st - mandatory for new players or anyone moving up a division
Season includes: 1 hr weekly practice, weekend game, uniform + award
Spots are NOT held without payment
Teams are picked by common draft so you can't request specific coaches or friend groups (sorry)

A few things worth knowing
Pee-Wees + Lil Kickers (ages 3-6) just sign up and show up. Perfect first-league energy for the little ones.
Refunds: 85% back if you cancel 14+ days before the season starts, 50% back 7-13 days out, and nothing 6 days or less. PlayLA $10 spots are non-refundable but transferable.
GPLA is the city's push for gender equity in youth sports - all-girls teams, same season, same $180. If your daughter's on the fence, this is a low-pressure way in.
