PeacePlayers International is led

by a global network of youth leaders who work

together as coaches, mentors

and facilitators.

“Basketball is a game where all five players need to share the ball...if it is played with great teamwork, the sum of the parts is greater than the individual. It’s a great forum for building trust. A lot of the game

happens with things you can’t see. Communication and trust with

teammates is the key. It seems to me that the same can be said of

peace making”.

-RC Buford, General Manager of NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs, from

“Hoops and Harmony: How PeacePlayers is changing the Middle

East” ESPN.com article
