Coach Nick Andino
Hey everyone, my name is Nick Andino and I work at the Urban School of San Francisco as their Admissions Fellow and DEI Support. I was born and raised in San Francisco and attended college at Seattle University where I played club basketball and graduated with a Sociology degree and Social Welfare minor.
I have coached two 8th grade SF Sparks teams and I have loved coaching because it gives me the opportunity to connect back with Bay Area youth and support them in their basketball and personal development. I am excited to continue with building our Sparks program!
Coach Maceo Anderson
Greetings Sparks Family!
My name Maceo Anderson and I have been coaching Sparks for 2 years now. I was born in San Francisco, but have spent about half my life in LA. After coming home to the bay, and finishing middle school, I went to Urban for high school. I then went on to study Fine Art at the University of California, Los Angeles. Upon graduation, I returned to the bay and began working in various roles at schools. I currently work at Independence High School as a Special Education Paraeducator. I have previously served as a middle school basketball coach at the San Francisco School.
I am looking forward to working with everyone.
Cheers!
