CYA Fieldhouse Winter Recreational Basketball League
Starts THIS Week!
|
Due to the Corona Virus Pandemic, CYA will not be offering a traditional recreational basketball season this winter. Instead, we are hosting a league right here at the CYA Fieldhouse! The Fieldhouse offers an environment that can be regulated and monitored. Additionally, the cleaning protocols are stringent and documented. All game equipment is sanitized regularly and only players are allowed in the building – no spectators at this time.
Obviously, we won’t be able to accommodate the number of kids who typically participate in CYA Basketball over a normal winter season but we intend to get as many kids out there as possible under the very strict safety guidelines.
The program will run 12 weeks and the cost is $150 per player.
First come, first served so register ASAP!
We need volunteer coaches to make this happen! If you are interested in coaching, please contact Zack Welch (CYA Fieldhouse GM) at ZWelch@ChantillyYouth.org

Exciting News! Giant Food Community Bag Program! |
We are so excited to share that CYA has been selected to be a part of the Giant Food Community Bag Program, which is designed to make it easy for customers to contribute to their local community while supporting the environment.
For the month of January, each time a reusable $2.50 Community Bag is purchased at the Giant Food located in the Greenbrier Shopping Center, $1 will be donated to CYA!
This is a great way to raise awareness, support the environment and fundraise for our cause. Let’s get started! We can begin by spreading the news to our friends and family. Call, send emails, and post on social media. The more people who learn about the program and purchase the Community Bag during the month of January, the more money we will raise.

Play Safely at the CYA Fieldhouse! |
Our staff at the CYA Fieldhouse is doing a terrific job in making sure all of our members and user groups are kept safe. In order to support them, we have some simple procedures in place that absolutely need to be followed by anyone who is taking part in recreational activities at the FH.
First and foremost, we are not permitting spectators in the building at this time. If your kids are playing at the Fieldhouse, drop them off at the front door and wait in the parking lot for them to finish their activity. We know... it's a bummer that you can't watch your kids play but things will change soon enough and for now, we are focused on making sure all of our kids are kept safe.
For a list of things we do at the Fieldhouse to keep everyone safe, follow the link below.

As we prepare for games and sporting events, we want to remind everyone to follow the COVID-19 protocols in place designed to protect our kids and families. Coaches and Spectators (parents, guardians and fans) are to wear masks at all times. Players should wear masks to/from the event and only remove them while competing.
A few additional instructions:
1) Only players and approved team officials are permitted on or around the fields. Spectators must stay clear – either outside fences or in the stands and must practice social distancing.
2) Please check your child’s temperature prior to leaving for the game. If your child has a temperature that exceeds 100.4, please keep them home!
3) Please pack extra hand sanitizer!
4) If anyone in your family feels sick, stay home!
Please check your sport website for additional information.
CLICK HERE to review the CYA Return to Play Guidelines.
If you don't have a mask on and you aren't socially distancing, a coach or administrator will politely ask you to comply and if you don't want to, you will be asked to get back in your car.
Please don't put our administrators in an uncomfortable position... JUST WEAR IT!
Happy New Year Everyone!
