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.
SFX does not provide player accident and injury insurance. This program is administered directly through LeagueApps and is not part of SFX Youth Sports. If you have any questions or issues with the insurance program please contact LeagueApps through the registration system.

Winter Basketball League
Our Winter Basketball League offers a recreational, volunteer-run environment for children ages 7-17 of all skill levels. The winter season begins in December and runs through March, with games scheduled primarily on weekends at various gyms in Park Slope, Prospect Heights, and surrounding areas, alongside potential weeknight games. The league offers separate Coed and Girls-only options tailored to specific age divisions.
Registration opens in early October and must be completed online through the SFX Youth Sports registration site. SFX Youth Sports is committed to ensuring financial need does not prevent a child from playing, with financial aid options available upon request.
SFX Basketball, along with all of our youth sports programs in SFX Youth Sports, is fully volunteer-run. We welcome and need your help! Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering, whether as a coach or assistant coach, or to help with logistics.
For any additional questions, please contact Perry Solomon, SFX Basketball Coordinator, at perry@sfxys.com.
