Welcome to SFX Youth Sports

SFX Youth Sports is a volunteer-led organization in Brooklyn providing sports programs focusing on skills and teamwork. Our programs teach fundamental skills while promoting teamwork, good sportsmanship and respect for all. Our coaches and leadership follow a set of basic principles, and expect parents and guardians to reinforce these principles on the field.

We have been serving the Brooklyn community for over 100 years, expanding our programs every year.

Fall Baseball, Softball and Tball – opening day on September 7th. 
Fall Flag Football and Soccer – opening day on September 14th.  
 
If you have questions please contact the appropriate division coordinator below.

Registration is OPEN for SFX Youth Sports’ Fall Basketball Skills Clinics

REGISTER HERE

Our Fall Skills Clinics are available to players of all skill levels, and focus on teaching the fundamentals of the game and building conditioning to excel in basketball.

Good conditioning is critical to success in basketball (and all sports), so there is a lot of running, jumping and movement in these sessions – be prepared to sweat! 
These clinics are great preparation for joining our winter recreational basketball league. We do NOT play games in these Skills Clinics, but will get you ready for games. Fall Skills Clinics are held at PS282 in Park Slope.
