Philosophy

The Community Youth Council, now known as CYC Invitational, has a long and proud history of serving the Asian-American community.  Formed in the 1950’s so that boys of Japanese ancestry could participate in competitive sports, CYC’s philosophy continues to focus on friendly competition, sportsmanship, parent involvement and exposure to cultural heritage.

CYC’s goal is not about winning games but providing a program which teaches participants the skills of basketball, the value of sportsmanship and the fun and camaraderie of playing team sports.
