Boise Salvation Army Sports Academy
In 2022, The Salvation Army launched The Sports Academy, our own fully funded program, completely free of charge for players.
Using the method, we've developed to make our programs accessible to players who were previously kept on the sidelines and building in new strategies to circumvent the existing youth basketball system, Troops and Soldiers was born.
The Sports Academy is an "All Inclusive," Basketball Academy, providing development from ground level. Our organization offers an elite training academy (Troops) and competitive traveling teams (Soldiers) at the youth level.
The Sports Academy has established itself as the first free competitive basketball program in Idaho, made for those wanting to pursue the game at a high level.

The Salvation Army Is Here to Help More Kids Learn More Things
After-school programs have been proven to foster social and academic development as programs provide safe and structured environments for kids during after-school hours, oftentimes filling the space between the end of the school day and when parents return from work.
We know that every parent wants the best for their child’s future. Sometimes, in a world filled with distractions and challenges, finding the right support system can make all the difference. From homework assistance and tutoring to encouraging higher grades and boosting motivation to team-building activities and cooperative learning experiences that help develop essential social skills, our programs are designed to empower kids to unlock their potential and thrive.
