About Us

FYB Information

The Basics:

Our goal is that first and foremost FYB should be a teaching program - where every player improves during the course of our season, in their mastering of skills, ability and confidence.

Our founding principles:

• Bettering our community, providing opportunities to serve and give back
• Fostering an environment that supports strong character growth for our kids
• Developing talents and skills that build confidence in sports and life
• Providing the highest level of competition possible
• Commitment to the program for a safe, fun and rewarding experience

Highlights:

• Practices and Games will be at various gyms in the South Bay and Peninsula. Practice schedules will be communicated when the player is assigned to a team.
• Single Division of play for each gender-grade group (e.g., Boys 7th and 8th, Girls 3rd and 4th)
• All players participate in Division, no separate leagues such as All-Net
• Minimum ability standards are one of the criteria for player selection in the boys divisions
• All players taught higher standard of skills to aid development
• Stronger coaching for all players
• Pre-season clinics led by professional coaches
• Volunteer coaches with previous coaching experience
• Grade appropriate skills teaching for all players will be practiced
• Evaluations to form balanced teams
• Regular season of 8 Sunday games, followed by an end of season tournament
• The 2025-2026 Season will run from October 13 through February 1
• Grade level appropriate rules, include both equal participation and competitive periods
• Greater consistency in game locations and time slots, early schedule release

• Girls will play a mixed schedule against both FYB teams and other Girls teams in the area

Expanded All Star Program for Advanced Players
