Berean Youth Basketball is a family-friendly basketball league which focusses on teamwork and fun and basketball fundamentals. Students come to grow in their love for the game, and also to build lasting relationships with others their age.

“Our league desires parents, friends and relatives who are watching to be supportive in their words and actions of all who help in our league”, continued Royal. “We want our children and friends to play well, but most importantly, we want to exemplify good sportsmanship and proper attitudes during our time on and off the court.
