CYBL Basketball

Our family has had great coaches and wonderful teammates. We are thankful for the many opportunities our children have had to practice and play. Games are well organized.

Good League for youth wanting to play basketball with a team. Price is reasonable and Games are professional and fun for everyone!

Horrible organization the director doesn't care at all. We had coaches cursing and shouting at 6 and 7 year olds. Several parents lodged complaints about a specific coach and nothing has been done. This organization is extremely unprofessional and the owner only cares about money. RUN AWAY!!

Absolutely horrible organization from the refs to the dad coaches to the unprepared game set up. If I could leave a 0 star I would. This org is in such decline and we were with them years ago with our older kids. Shame on you for charging this much for a crap product.

This organization is terrible or at least the "mandatory evaluation" was. You have 250 kids and you do one side where they shoot one at a time and on the other side you do three on three not even five on five and when the other side finally finished two hours later you still only use onside. No one is taking notes on anyone. It's ridiculous. You have workers still on their phones doing nothing and you have about 50 kids waiting to play. You're not even utilizing the space. And if you ask me if this is a "mandatory evaluation" it sucks. What a terrible organization. I recommend going else where.

Worst officiating ever!!!! Unacceptable when refs have no clue what the hell their doing... one sided calls , don't stop a game when kid is injured. Won't ever play in this league again... boycott CYBL!!!!

Horrible Referees. I wa watching a youth game at Simmons Center. The Referees wouldn't allow any breaks in between quarters, the poor kids didn't get time to take a sip of water. Are the Referees getting paid for there lousy job. The kids were confused to what the Referees were calling.

Very organized and caring organization! My children were a played in the league and now their children (my grandchildren) are playing! Very pleased with CYBL. Thankyou Tiffany & MickeyOzella

I witnessed the most DISGUSTING behavior I have ever witnessed from a coach at a kid's basketball game. Our team played against another high schoolbasketball team. Throughout the game, the coach progressively lost his temper and began making comments to our team along with directly to another parent and myself. The first comment I recall him saying was "you ain't gonna make anymore shots" to one ofour players. The coach was taunting andbullying our players. Their code of conductstates, " Good sportsmanship and a positiveemotional balance are always needed, it's thenumber one priority and guiding principle inthe CYBL." That isn't what they follow. The mother of the child the coach wastaunting said "c'mon really, to a kid?"The coach then repeatedly said "Shut your mouth.Shut your mouth. Just shut up B***" directly to themother and her daughter. The coach repeatedly blurted "shut your mouth. I said shut your mouth". Mind you this was all going on while he was coaching his team.The more points our team scored, the moreagitated the coach became. As their codeof Conduct states, "Basic expectations include:Respect between opposing players, coaches andparents, Refraining from the use of profanity andinappropriate gestures at all times,". The coach could not and did not abide by the basic expectation of your code of conduct.As if his behavior on the court wasn't appealingenough, the coach continued his verbalabuse after the game and off the court. Hedirectly told my 16 year old son to "shut up, runyour mouth for no reason, shut up", all becausemy son and his teammates were happy for theirwin since they lost against That team a few weeks prior.Again, their code of Conduct states "No bullying or "trash talking by coaches, players, parents, spectators." They do not care! He directly made these comments to childrenwho paid to participate on your league to gainskills and a positive experience in what should bea controlled environment.The coach then passed directly in front of me and myson as my son was switching out his basketballshoes. He attempted to intimidate us and said "Iain't worried about shit", gathered his team, andthe. Said "I ain't worried about no Mexican." So at this point it went from bullying, taunting, intimidating, to racism?Whats worse is multiple people emailed the the president and founder of the league and NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE! Save your money and find another league. This was DISGUSTING!!

Spring 2022 Season is when we started with CYBL. It was a good experience. So we decided to sign up for the Fall 2022 & then Winter 2023 season. That's when I really began to see the concerning issues with this league. From refs not being professional & officiating games, to the skills assessment being a complete waste of time because nobody is actually paying attention to the players for proper team placement. Some of the teams & coaches not having good sportsmanship nor are they being held accountable for not following the code of conduct. The Director not doing anything about the issues/complaints being made by the patents & coaches. The Coaches whose kids play for league still have to pay to see their kid play in the All Star game. Mind you the Coaches are not getting paid to coach because they volunteered & the Director's way of showing his appreciation is still making them pay to watch their kid play in the All Star game & still charge the coaches the retailed high prices for their basic CYBL Apparel. The rules the Director has in place for playing the game of basketball with the High School Division doesn't teach them real basketball. While it's giving everyone of all age groups a good experience to play basketball, they're not learning the true game of basketball with the rules in place ESPECIALLY with the High School Division. Certain amount of fouling is allowed without getting called. Carrying & traveling is allowed to a certain extent. Self passes are allowed, etc. This league needs A LOT of revamping. It seems to be more focused on numbers/money if anything. We have decided Winter 2023 Season will be our last season with this organization.
