Our Roots

Play Marin began in 2012 with Paul Austin coaching one basketball team of nine players. Today, Play Marin reaches over 300 kids annually through dozens of sports, summer camps, and many other enriching activities.

Our work addresses two fundamental challenges Marin City youth face:
  • Adequate access to extracurricular and athletic opportunity in Marin City
  • Lack of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity in the broader Marin community.

Through the opportunities provided by Play Marin, students learn valuable skills, build friendships, develop grit, and improve their prospects for a successful future. Come play with us!

Our Team

The successful outreach of Play Marin is only possible with the contributions and engagement from our Executive Staff, community, volunteers, coaches, partners, and Board of Directors.

Play Marin's Executive Team brings a variety of professional experience and skills to growth of the organization as well as the day-to-day operations and long-term success.

There are many ways that you can become part of the Play Marin team and make a difference to the youth of Marin City. To learn more, please visit the Get Involved page.
