Chartiers-Houston Youth Basketball Association (CHYBA) is a non-profit organization which recognizes that basketball has the opportunity to play an important role in a young person’s life. Our mission is to create a healthy and safe environment where we can provide the opportunity for our youth players to learn the fundamental skills of basketball while instilling life-lessons and values that will build character, discipline, respect, and sportsmanship.  CHYBA will organize and manage programs to teach and develop confident youth players that are capable of improving their athletic abilities and learn about teamwork while having an opportunity to play in competitive games of basketball. Our objectives are to:

1. To encourage, promote and support youth basketball in the Chartiers-Houston School District.
2. To provide players with knowledge and skill to play the game of basketball by obtaining excellent volunteer coaches who use instruction and techniques that are designed to improve skills and enable players to compete at a high level.
3. To facilitate age appropriate skill development and competition within CHYBA and associated league and tournament play. 
4. To foster an atmosphere where working hard towards a common goal and achieving your potential are intertwined.
5. To develop each player's character by teaching the value of teamwork and sportsmanship through the game of basketball.
6. To prepare players both athletically and intellectually so they are ready to advance to the next level of play or stage of life.

CHYBA is able to provide this support to our youth participants due to the support of our community members.  We provide opportunity for participation with both our boys and girls enrolled at Chartiers-Houston from kindergarten through 6th grade.  The program is open to all, and does not restrict membership due to race, religion, gender or ability.  Both our youth boys and girls organizations have taught over 200 participants (per year, with growth each year) the fundamentals of basketball, fostered good sportsmanship and provided an excellent physical challenge.
