Chamberlayne Youth Basketball League

What is CYBL?
 
It is the mission of the Chamberlayne Youth Basketball League (CYBL) to educate and empower today’s youth with confidence, commitment and integrity, so they can live a productive and successful tomorrow.  CYBL is an organized group of parents, coaches, volunteers, and community leaders dedicated to the development of youths through the game of basketball by stressing teamwork, sportsmanship and integrity to build self-confidence.  We believe that a strong youth program leads to happier, healthier, and more productive kids.  All participants will take pleasure in learning the game of basketball and acquiring the necessary fundamentals needed to play the game. WE DO NOT FOCUS ON WINNING OR LOSING; we advocate a winning spirit! Our goal as an organization is to provide every youth that joins our league the opportunity to maximize their talent in all areas be it sports, academics, or the arts and to demonstrate the necessary work ethic and discipline to achieve success on the court and in life.
