The FSBL relies on parents and young adults who volunteer their time each year to coach our kids!  We are reaching out to our parents today in trying to find coaches for the FSBL Summer League and to work with the players during our Mack's Blacktop Basketball program this summer.  All coaching candidates must pass a league mandated background screening in order to coach in the league.

If you have friends in Ashburn or surrounding towns who might enjoy coaching in our league, please have them register to coach.  If you have an older son or daughter who has graduated from high school or college and lives in the area and knows basketball, ask them if they'd like to coach.  We need your help!  If you would like to coach, and did not coach in the league last winter, please register as a Head Coach by clicking on the bouncing basketball below!

If you have a good knowledge of basketball, but you've never coached before, now is the time to give it a try by coaching in our House Leagues.  All great coaches started somewhere!  The commitment of coaching in the FSBL involves one 90 minute practice per week on Monday or Tuesday and one 60 minute game per week on Wednesday or Thursday.  If you coached in the league back when your children were young, we'd love to have you back!  If you played in the league before graduating from high school, we'd also love to have you back coaching a team if you think you can coach.

Win or lose, all the kids who play in the league win when we have enthusiastic coaches on the sidelines working with our players.  Thanks, in advance, for your help,

If you coached last season, you do not need to register, but you do need to contact the appropriate deputy commissioner.

FSBL 3rd Annual Summer League Update:

Registration for the 2021 summer league is now closed.

Be on the lookout for practice and game schedules.

The 8 week league will run from June 21 - August 12.

Mack's Blacktop Basketball

Location:  Trailside Middle School

6 Sessions: Saturday, June 26 - August 7, 2021

In addition to the FSBL Summer League, the FSBL is back on the courts this summer with Mack's Blacktop Basketball at Trailside Middle Schools.  This free, instructional program will run for 6 Saturdays starting on June 26th and ending on August 7th.  (**There will be no session on July 3rd)  Though a majority of the teaching is done inside, we do get the players outside for some outdoor play each session.  Wouldn't you rather have your young athlete out on the courts playing basketball instead of in front of the X-Box?  Come on out and play!  Looking for a few additional FSBL coaches to join us on the courts to help run Mack's Blacktop Basketball this summer!  For those who don't know, Mack Butts was a Coach and Board Member with the FSBL for only a short time, but he was truly dedicated to helping the young basketball players in Ashburn be better players.  Mack passed away from cancer in March, 2015 and the FSBL has chosen to carry on this free summer program that Mack helped run for 2 summers!

Open to all players entering 3rd - 9th grades this fall.

Boys Session runs from 8:00 - 10:00am

Girls Session runs from 10:00am - 12:00pm

There is NO REGISTRATION for this FREE program. 

Players play at their own risk!  Just show up ready to work on basketball skills.  All players should bring a basketball - with their name on it - each week.  Parents need to make sure that they return to the gym to pick up your child just prior to the end of each session.  Please contact Commissioner Craig Newman (commish@fsbl.org) for additional information.  See you on the courts!

The FSBL has developed some guidelines we will enforce for all FSBL activities. 

Please read the guidelines before attending any FSBL activity.
