CYC Membership and Core Values

Welcome to CYC.  Being a part of CYC means that you have joined one of our participating Organizations.  With this comes expectations from your Organization as well as from CYC – a commitment to your Organization and their involvement in their community as well as your participation in the CYC Invitational basketball program.

For over 60 years, CYC has been guided by a few simple values that are required by all participants and their families to follow.  Respect, Teamwork, Sportsmanship and Community Involvement.

From players, family members, coaches and friends, we strive to provide a league that allows boys a way to improve their personal growth and skill level.  As well as, families and teammates come together and form lasting memories.

We have strict guidelines so that our core values are always the focus and purpose of our league.  We are looking forward to seeing you back in the gyms.

Jon Saguchi, Trustee and CYC Board President
