The purpose of the Augsburg College Church Youth Basketball League (ACCYL) is to provide relaxed, yet structured games in a Christian setting, allowing kids an opportunity for fun and exercise while building relationships with teammates, opponents, and God. Through these games and practices, Christian values are promoted throughout the coaching ranks and spiritual growth is encouraged within each team and individual. Devotions, prayers, and community service are a part of each team’s experience. Each individual has the opportunity to enjoy the game of basketball, regardless of ability or experience, and in doing so is able to achieve a feeling of success.
