Fireland Community Youth Basketball is a community based basketball program in the Firelands School District. The league has been in existence for 30 years. There have been some basic changes over the years, but for the most part, the league has seen great success by sticking to some very strong core values. These include, fair play regardless of ability, placing an emphasis on the children having fun and teaching the game of basketball in a positive environment where the kids can learn some pretty important life skills.
FCYB was created to bring the Firelands community together during the long winter months and provide the opportunity for boys and girls in grades 1 thru 6 to learn and have fun playing the game of basketball. This is not a competitive league. It is an instructional league.
Although we have a very good working relationship with the Firelands school system, this league is not run through the school system. We ask that you do not contact the schools for information about this league. Please see the contact info below.
Fees: The cost to play this year is $90.00. We do, however, offer a discount for multiple children within the same family. The first child is $90, each additional is $75, with a family maximum of $240.00.
Each team will get 1 practice a week and Games will be on Sunday's this year starting at 12:00.
We need new sponsors to continue to keep the cost down. Please Help!
I can email you a form if you want one. Ask your employer or local businesses.
Information: Your best source of information is to complete the e-mail address at the top of your child’s sign up form. You will be added to an e-mailing list, and you will receive important updates on clinics, practices, games, etc. You will NOT receive a phone call about clinics.

Lindsay’s Law: Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Youth Athletes
What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
A Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, cutting off blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Sudden cardiac arrest is fatal if not treated immediately, most often by a defibrillator.
Who is Lindsay?
Senate Bill 252 is named for national heart health advocate and former Miss Ohio Lindsay Davis who suffers from a heart condition and has since dedicated her career to raising awareness of this potentially fatal condition.
"Sudden cardiac arrest is the number one killer of student athletes," said Davis. "At any moment I could have died because coaches and teachers had no idea this was even a possibility for someone who looked as healthy as I did at that age."
Lindsay’s Law
Lindsay’s Law, Ohio Revised Code 3313.5310, 3707.58 and 3707.59 went into effect in 2017.
In accordance with this law, the Ohio Department of Health, the Ohio Department of Education, the Ohio High School Athletic Association, the Ohio Chapter of the American College of Cardiology and other stakeholders jointly developed guidelines and other relevant materials to inform and educate students and youth athletes participating in or desiring to participate in an athletic activity, their parents, and their coaches about the nature and warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest.
The following resources were developed to implement Lindsay’s Law:

FCYB FAQ
FAQ section to be updated soon.
FCYB Policy on District Residency
Since FCYB began, the written rule was that you had to live within the Firelands School District to play community basketball.
Starting back in 2008, we allowed some children to come into the league that were from outside of the district. This was done so to fill a need within our program as well as provide interested children with a place to play basketball. It is not the intent or desire of this program to take in children from outside of the community in large numbers. We allow this to gain players in certain divisions, which enables us to keep our numbers up and makes it more fun for everyone involved.
Understanding that this process needs to be a little more clear, we will outline what this means below.
1. Sign ups are for individual players only. We will allow no teams from outside of the district to come into this league as a team. We will allow a maximum of 2 players to "come together" as we recognize there could be a need for ride share, etc. There will be no exceptions.
2. At this time, we are not accepting any players from outside of the district for our 1st and 2nd grade program.
3. We will accept players from outside of the district for 5th & 6th grade boys and girls and 3rd and 4th grade girls.
4. FCYB reserves the right to modify these caps base on our sign ups from within the community.
5. FCYB will not discriminate based on gender, race, or ability.
6. Sign ups from outside of the community are on a first come first serve basis.
7. FCYB reserves the right to modify this policy as it relates to being in the best interest of the program, as well as the children that it serves.
