Week 3 — INTEGRITY
Hard to believe we’re already into Week 3 of the season!

First, congratulations to the players who were recognized for living out Humility and received this week’s TAKE FLIGHT bag tag.

This week, our focus is Integrity — doing what’s right, even when it’s hard and even when no one is watching.

Integrity can be hard — for kids and adults alike. It often shows up in the small moments: telling the truth, owning a mistake, respecting a decision we don’t like, giving full effort when no one would notice, or choosing what is right even when it may cost us something.

Those choices may seem small, but over time they shape our character and the kind of people God is calling us to be.

Families, follow along with this week’s devotion and keep the conversation going at home:

- Are the choices you make in private consistent with the person you want to be in public?
- What areas of integrity is God asking you to surrender, and where might doing the right thing cost you something?

Week 2 — HUMILITY

This week, our TAKE FLIGHT focus is Humility — putting others first.

We also want to congratulate the players who were recognized for living out our first characteristic, Unashamed / Identity. Whether those bag tags have already been handed out or will be this week, we’re excited to begin recognizing the Christlike character our coaches are seeing in their players.

Humility is bigger than basketball. Jesus showed us that true greatness is not about attention, status, or recognition, but about serving others and putting their needs before our own. That example applies on the court, at school, at home, and in the way we treat people every day.

In basketball, humility can look like celebrating a teammate, accepting coaching, making the extra pass, serving the team, and not needing the credit.

Families, follow along with the devotion this week and keep the conversation going at home.

Look for one moment this week when you could make it about yourself — and choose to put someone else first instead.

🏀 LET'S TAKE FLIGHT! 🦅

What a great kickoff to our Metro basketball season this past Saturday!

It was exciting to see our Falcons back on the court, competing, encouraging their teammates, and putting their hard work into action!

As we begin this season, our focus is on more than just basketball. Through our TAKE FLIGHT theme, we're encouraging our athletes to grow in their skills, their character, and their faith.

A huge THANK YOU to our coaches, families, volunteers, and everyone who came out to support our players!

We're looking forward to a great season of growth, teamwork, and making memories!

BASKETBALL IS THE PLATFORM. CHRIST IS THE PURPOSE.

🏀 IT’S GAME DAY!

Good luck to all of our FYBA teams as the season officially tips off today!

Play with purpose. Be a great teammate. Represent Christ well.

As we’ve talked through Unashamed / Identity, step onto the court confident in who you are and Whose you are. Let that show in the way you compete, respond, encourage, and carry yourself—no matter what the game brings.

Have a great opening weekend, Falcons! 🦅🏀

Week 3 continues our Unashamed / Identity focus.

Last week we talked about where our identity and value come from. This week we’re taking the next step: if our identity really is in Christ, who are we becoming because of it?

Sports give us a front-row seat to our kids’ lives. We see how they respond to success, disappointment, pressure, mistakes, winning, losing, teammates, coaches, etc. Those moments give us incredible opportunities to help them grow.

All of us at FYBA, absolutely want to provide good coaching, help kids develop their skills, compete well, and become better basketball players. But our ultimate measure of success is bigger than that.

Our hope is that we use these opportunities to help our players learn how to walk with Jesus through the ups and downs of life. In the end, who they are becoming in Christ matters far more than who they are becoming on the basketball court.

This week’s devotion looks at what it means to be more than someone who simply carries the title “Christian,” but to actually live as a disciple of Jesus—following Him, learning from Him, and becoming more like Him.

Families, we’d love for you to follow along and continue the conversation at home.
Basketball is the platform. Christ is the purpose.

Week 2 — Unashamed / Identity

Last week we introduced our TAKE FLIGHT theme and what we hope God will do through this season. This week we begin our first character focus: Unashamed / Identity.

Our players will talk about where their identity and value truly come from. Winning or losing, playing time, statistics, popularity, and accomplishments do not determine our worth. Those things pale in comparison to knowing that our identity is found in Christ—that we are deeply loved by God, made new through Jesus, and have a hope and future in Him. When we understand that, we don't have to prove our worth through basketball or the approval of others. We can live boldly and confidently in our faith.

Families, follow along with us this week! A great question to continue at home is:
“What are some things we sometimes let determine our value—and what does God say is true about who we are?”

Our prayer is that our players learn to know who they are in Christ and let that identity shape the way they compete, respond to wins and losses, treat others, and live each day.

Basketball is the platform. Christ is the purpose.

Welcome to the 2026 FYBA Metro season!

This year, our theme is TAKE FLIGHT, based on Isaiah 40:31. Throughout the season, we’ll share a short weekly devotion for coaches, players, and families to follow along with. Each devotion will connect Scripture to basketball and focus on one of the Christlike characteristics we want to intentionally develop in our players.

The first three weeks will be a little unique as we build the foundation for the season: Week 1 introduces TAKE FLIGHT and the purpose behind it, Week 2 begins our Unashamed / Identity focus, and Week 3 will take that theme a little deeper and look at how our identity in Christ should affect the way we live.

Throughout the season, coaches will also use TAKE FLIGHT bag tags to recognize players who are genuinely living out these characteristics. These are not based on points, playing time, or statistics—they’re about biblical character development. We also want players learning to notice and encourage these qualities in one another.

Families, we’d love for you to follow along each week, continue the conversations at home, and pray with us that God uses this season for something far greater than basketball.

Basketball is the platform. Christ is the purpose.
