Join the FYB Team - Make a Difference!

Are you passionate about youth basketball and eager to make a positive impact in our community? FYB, a non-profit youth basketball league, is entirely run by dedicated parent volunteers like you! We invite you to step up and become a part of our dynamic team, whether as a board member or a coach.

• Community Connection: Joining FYB's volunteer team creates a sense of camaraderie and community spirit. You'll work alongside like-minded parents, forming lifelong friendships while making a meaningful contribution to the well-being of our children.
• Personal Growth: Volunteering with FYB offers a chance for personal growth and development. Whether you're taking on a leadership role on the board or coaching a team, you'll enhance your communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills.
• Fulfillment & Gratitude: Experience the joy and fulfillment of giving back. Witness the smiles on our young players' faces as they achieve their goals, and be recognized for the positive impact you make in their lives.
• Role Model for Youth: By volunteering, you set a powerful example for our players, showing them the importance of giving back and being part of something greater than themselves.

We Need You - How to Volunteer:

To keep FYB thriving, we rely on the commitment and enthusiasm of parent volunteers. Here's how you can join our team:

• Board Positions: If you possess organizational, financial, legal, marketing, social media, medical, web developer or leadership expertise, consider joining our board to help shape FYB's future. Your skills and insights will be invaluable in guiding our organization to new heights. Please look at open positions on the board and contact us.
• Coaching Opportunities: Whether you're a seasoned coach or a basketball enthusiast willing to learn, we welcome you to coach one of our teams. Your passion for the sport and dedication to our players' growth can make all the difference.
• Support Roles: Can't commit to a board position or coaching? No problem! We also need volunteers for various support roles, such as being a team parent, helping with event setup and checkin of players during Division Evaluations, All Star tryouts, picture day, etc... Your contribution in any capacity will be highly appreciated.

Important Roles

Each team will have a Head Coach and an Assistant Coach. There may be more than one Assistant Coach, but FYB rules only allow two coaches and a scorekeeper to sit with the team during games. We go to great lengths to try to select coaches that have previous coaching experience and have a positive record of working with youths. We offer our own coaching clinic and the FYB Section offers additional coaching clinics for our coaches. Please give them your support.

Each team needs a Team Coordinator (Team Parent). This important position/role off-loads coaches from the administrative tasks of running the team. The Team Coordinator is the communicator and coordinator for the team, so if you have good organization skills then please consider signing up for this job. Gym monitors and Score/Time Keepers are critical to the success of our program.

Gym monitors setup and close gyms in better condition than we started with and supervise the gym during games. Both gym monitors and score/time keepers are paid an hourly rate. We ask your help in recruiting adults for gym monitors and teens/young adults for score/time keepers. Each weekend our Chapter will be hosting 28 to 32 home games in one of our gyms. It takes a large number of volunteers to provide a good environment for our children to play basketball.

Thanks for volunteering and supporting the children in our community.
