SF Soldiers (SF Work Hard Play Hard EIN# 82-5241318) is a non-profit organization designed to provide young men and women an opportunity to participate in the sport of basketball while gaining valuable life skills that will improve their quality of life. We have devoted our time and resources to create an organization of excellence that centers around the development and well-being of each athlete involved with the program. This mission is reflected in the actions of the coaches and the services of the organization.
We focus on hiring qualified adults to assist in creating a nurturing environment that employs a holistic approach to the development of athletes. All coaches serve as more than a basketball coach. SF Soldiers coaches also serve as mentors to their players.
SF Soldiers does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.
