BYS Core Values

• The BYS Way - utilizing Westchester's leading youth sports curriculum.
  
  
• To use the power of sports to change lives and build communities.
  
  
• To enable any child, regardless of ability or background to have an enriching athletic experience.
  
  
• To act as responsible role models and mentors respectful of the sacred trust extended to us by the players and families who participate in our programs.
  
  
• To recognize that competition is a healthy and integral part of athletic participation and to build a winning culture in all of the activities we promote.
  
  
• To regard the pursuit of sports is an endeavor that does not need to end after childhood. To promote the process of games, not the results, in order to build a “love of game” and a lifetime devotion to athletic participation.
