Welcome to YBG

Building the next generation of student-athletes

YBG is registered as a Non-Profit Organization under the laws of Guyana and is run by volunteers.

We view basketball through the lens of holistic youth development, which inspires our core values of Leadership, Scholarship and Prowess, and guides our mission.

Our mission is to build a progressive structure for youth development through basketball, by establishing better links between grassroots and school activities, while creating a pathway for more elite-level participation and performance through the nurturing of a new generation of "student-athletes."
