Welcome to the home of the South Eastern Youth Basketball Organization (SEYBO). The role of youth
programs is developing players. It goes way beyond winning and losing. Winning
isn’t important. Wanting to win and having fun is what is important. Our Youth
program has 4 main goals:
1) Learn the
game -- First and
foremost, the kids will be taught the fundamentals of the game of basketball. By
teaching kids these skills at an early age, we give them a better chance to
discover their abilities and potential as basketball players down the road.
2) Learn good
sportsmanship -- Sportsmanship
may seem like an out-of-date concept today when professional athletes and
coaches act in ways we would not want our children to imitate. How to display
good sportsmanship is one of the most important skills any youth sports program
can teach its participants.
3) Put forth
effort -- Kids
need to learn that how much they get out of something is determined by how much
they put in. As long as they put forth the effort and try as hard as they can,
they are always winners no matter what the scoreboard says.
4) Have FUN -- Without a doubt, the most
important goal we have is for the kids, parents and coaches to have FUN! We will
measure the success of our teams and our program by the number of smiles we see,
not the number of wins and losses.
Our program puts aside the attitude of "winning at all costs" and emphasizes
skill development, confidence, sportsmanship, friendly competition and FUN.
