We're excited for the 16th Annual All-City Jr. Warriors Youth Basketball League beginning in January 2024 - February 2024.  

The league depends on the generosity of volunteers to provide an opportunity for our youth to learn the game of basketball in a recreational, supportive, and safe environment. 

Our Jr. Warriors League depends on the generosity of volunteers to provide an opportunity for our youth to learn the game of basketball in a recreational, supportive, and safe environment.

One of our greatest needs is for volunteer coaches at all levels of play. We are grateful that you have expressed an interest in volunteering. Coaching can be a rewarding experience for parents, families, and other community supporters.

If you are interested in becoming a coach/assistant coach, you do not need to have a high level of experience in basketball. Our league offers a variety of resources to help with this task including, an annual coaching clinic and experienced coaches who are more than happy to provide advice.  

Positions available are: 

• Basketball Coach- Provides an enjoyable and safe positive sporting experience for participants while they learn individual and team game skills, sportsmanship, and fair play.

• Basketball Assistant Coach- Assists the Head Basketball coach with conducting & instructing players, motivating players, regulations, equipment, and techniques of the sport.

• Basketball Referee - Referees are needed to enforce the rules of the game, while still providing a safe and positive atmosphere for all.

• Basketball Scorekeeper - maintain accurate tally and time sheets of games

All Basketball volunteers agree to support and influence good sportsmanship, high moral standards and are responsible for the conduct of their players and spectators.

Approved Coaches

All Coaches must have passed an SFRPD Volunteer Background Check (Eligible for 5 years), show proof of COVID-19 Vaccination, and show proof of completion of annually Mandated Reporter and Concussion Awareness Training in order to participate.  Each coach will be required to show a picture ID and confirm that his or her name is on our official list before each game begins.  

For new coaches, please fill out the SFRPD Volunteer Application and send a digital copy along with a picture of your Photo ID to britney.chiu@sfgov.org and recparkvolunteer@sfgov.org.  Please sure to indicate which team(s) your coaching.
