Future Youth Committee

Basketball England's Future Youth Committee (FYC) is a youth-led initiative designed to better connect us with the young people who will shape our game's future. The FYC allows young people a meaningful opportunity to represent their basketball communities, develop themselves and most importantly it gives them a voice.

To give young people a voice in all aspects of the sport
To ensure that all participants feel supported, welcome, and safe within basketball
To develop leadership and life skills
To input into our campaigns and decision-making; shaping the sport of basketball

Advisory – to advise on the direction of BE’s work and how to best engage with young people
Development – develop, inform, influence and engage with BE so that the organisation does the best it can for all young people
