SYB is dedicated to developing the athletic skills, character, sportsmanship, and teamwork of Sudbury school children. The program stresses a safe and balanced learning environment that allows players of all abilities to reach their potential. The program is run by volunteer coaches and board members. Coaches are provided with training on how to create a positive and supportive atmosphere and to help players reach their goals. Parents are encouraged to become involved in their children's basketball teams and to support the coaches, players, and the program.
