ABOUT HACS
HACS — High School Athletes Community Service — is a student-led, 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth sports organization serving children and families in the South Bay Area.
HACS was founded and is run entirely by high school student-athletes. What began as a few students coaching small groups in neighborhood has grown into a year-round community program offering affordable, beginner-friendly classes in basketball, soccer, fitness, running, volleyball, badminton and more for children ages 3–12 — with small-group, age-appropriate instruction that keeps sports accessible to every family.
Service is at the core of HACS. Through their own initiative and effort, our students have extended sports opportunities to children with special needs, giving them a place to play, learn, and belong. HACS also runs free community programs year after year — including a free youth running club founded by our students, which has brought children and families across the community together and filled neighborhood parks with energy and life.
At its heart, HACS is a training ground for young leaders. Our student coaches do far more than teach sports: they design lesson plans, manage classes of young children, communicate with parents, and take responsibility for the safety and progress of every student. Along the way, they develop the skills no classroom can teach — leadership, accountability, patience, and communication — while earning meaningful community service experience.
HACS shows what students can build when they are trusted with real responsibility: a registered nonprofit, run by teenagers, that serves hundreds of young children, develops its coaches as leaders, and brings families together through sport.
MORE THAN CLASSES. MORE TOGETHER.

OUR COACHES
HACS exists because of the students below. Every coach on this page — those who have graduated and moved on, those leading classes today, and those just joining us — has given their weekends, their skills, and their heart to serve the children of this community. They planned the lessons, showed up in every season, and became the role models our young athletes look up to. To our alumni coaches: the foundation you built still carries every class we teach. To our newest coaches: welcome to a tradition of leadership through service. Thank you, all of you, for what you have given to this community.
Thank you to every HACS coach — past and present — for your service to our community.
