West Hartford Youth Basketball League
-Max Ghamo

The West Hartford Youth Basketball League or WHYBL for short is a non profit sports organization in West Hartford,CT. This is a great organization as it teaches young "superstars" the fun of playing basketball, while at the same times learning many life lessons.

One of the best parts of the league is that all of the coaches are volunteers, which means they are either working fulltime or fulltime students. Which is not only great for kids but also helps the coaches because learn how to deal with difficulties of coaching.

Since the WHYBL goes through the month of December which for some families is a difficult time, the WHYBL food pantrys to help out local families through the cold winter. 

All of the money that is put into the West Hartford Youth Basketball League get put back into the commuinty of West Hartford .

One last thing that the WHYBL did to really help was with the Newtown shooting incident, the sponsor of Three teams in the league (J.T. Ghamo) created T-Shirts with a logo that says "We Will Never Forget". 100% of the proceeds went the Sandy Hook Elementry.
