About MYBA
Founded in the Fall of 2004, and based in Houston, Texas, MYBA is a work in progress that began with an idea that since the game of basketball has such a broad and popular appeal amongst Muslim youth, organized, competitive basketball could be a means of harnessing scattered resources in an effort aimed at developing in Muslim youth:
--high moral character, individual responsibility, and integrity
--fraternal bonds of kinship that transcend ethnicity, culture, and socio-economic status
--physical fitness, teamwork, and leadership skills
--tolerance and appreciation for the unique contributions of others
--the yearning to love Islam, to respect it's principles, and to faithfully adhere to the commandmants of Allaah (swt) and His Messenger (saaws) on and off the basketball court.
"Through it's year-round leagues, tournaments, and special events, MYBA will strive to keep the focus on tarbiyyah (Islamic upbringing) while giving young people opportunities for personal growth and fulfillment in playing the game of basketball at a highly competitive level"
Jamaaluddin al-Haidar
MYBA Commissioner
Who I'd like to meet: Individuals and organizations who would rather use their money to support a non-profit Muslim youth organization instead of handing it over to the IRS...NBA players,NCAA players, and coaches who sincerely want to work with the youth and assist their programs physically and financially.
