My child plays Rep or for other competitive teams. Are they able to join the house league?CYBL strives to create a fun, fair and competitive experience for players that join our house league program. Those who play rep basketball or in other competitive teams/leagues that would like to join our house league are welcome. However, we have a process once registered to ensure that they are eligible to play in our house league. During our draft combine (First night of our house league with drills and scrimmages to assess skill level in order to create teams), each rep/competitive player will be assessed to ensure that the skill gap between them and the rest of our league is adequate for them to participate. If we find that the skill gap between your child and the rest of our league is to great, we will advise you of this and issue you a full refund. If your child is not eligible to play in our house league, they will still be welcomed to join one of our other available programs.

Our family is not Christian or does not attend Church regularly, are we still able to register in the league?Absolutely! Our league is open to any participants who love basketball and regular church attendance is not a pre-requisite.

What sets us apart from other basketball leagues is our 10-minute halftime Huddle (a short Bible based devotional) that is delivered by one of our coaches or volunteers, followed by a prayer. We focus on teaching Integrity, Character and Life Skills through the greatest game on earth, Basketball!
