[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Soualiga Youth Basketball Association (SYBA) has jumpstarted basketball for youth at the under-19 (U-19) level. Players as young as 15 years old were able to compete in the tournament. The game was held in the LBSA.
The goal of the exhibition game:
The goal of the SYBA exhibition game was to make the public aware of the association’s return. The games were made to highlight the student-athletes and show what SYBA has planned for youth basketball. This included how the public can support the association to safeguard its ability to continue hosting competitive 5-on-5 youth basketball.
A number of teams/districts in the exhibition game:
Currently, there are no teams officially registered with SYBA. The association is in the recruitment stage in regard to registering district teams. The goal is to have every district register at least one team each. SYBA is reaching out to the respective community councils, leaders, and interested coaches to achieve this goal.
Overview
The SYBA is focused on emphasizing the importance of proper player development in youth basketball. This encompasses more than just the fundamentals of basketball. It includes the necessary discipline and organization to encourage student-athletes to succeed in the classroom and the basketball court. The SYBA is working closely with the basketball Federation, basketball organizations, and other member associations to ensure that we can create a sustainable youth basketball league.
The board members are dedicated to safeguarding SYBA so that it can never become dormant/inactive again. Our youth basketball athletes deserve this at the least. The SYBA plans on encouraging the public, individuals and businesses alike, to become paying members with SYBA to support the youth basketball league.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1646144944075{padding-top: 50px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGyTLWJP4Zk&t=2s” align=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”7412,7410,7409,7408″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
