Parents, we hear you! Finding the right balance between beginner leagues, AAU travel teams, and school basketball can be challenging.

The NYA (Not Your Average) League + Academy — is a youth basketball league with a mission to develop the mind, body, and spirit of every athlete. Here’s what makes us NOT your average league:

```
Discipleship is our goal
```
```
Holistic Development is our priority
```
```
Fundamentals First is our nonnegotiable
```

The 2026 Spring NYA League is 11-weeks and designed for athletes 14U (as of 1/1/2026) who are looking to improve their basketball fundamentals and understanding of the game. This league focuses on fundamental development, game IQ, teamwork, and character development, all in a supportive and competitive environment.

For the first half of the league, athletes will train (3 sessions/week) with our experienced player development coaches who will guide them through drills, techniques, and strategies to help them grow individually. Training sessions will be Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays. (When registration ends, parents will receive communication with their athlete's training schedule)

For the second half of the league, athletes will have one practice (Monday or Tuesday) with their team coach and one game per week. All games will be played on Thursdays.

Whether your athlete is just getting started or looking to take their game to the next level, FQP Not Your Average League helps bridges the gap. It’s more than basketball – it’s about building not your average player.

The investment for the season is $45 enrollment and three payments of $229/month (Mar 2nd, Apr 2nd, May 2nd). While this may be more than expected, we firmly believe it’s worth it. NYA League + Academy prioritizes skill development, basketball IQ, and character building, ensuring that every athlete gains the tools to excel on and off the court.

This is more than just a league, it’s an opportunity for your child to be trained, challenged, and developed at the highest level. Limited Spots.
