Afghan ASL - Winter 2024/25

We are thrilled to launch our new Winter Basketball League, running from December 2024 to February 2025, featuring 10 teams competing for the championship title. Alongside the adult league, we are offering a youth program that includes a range of sports and activities like soccer and basketball, helping young people stay active and engaged.

 

This league isn’t just about sports—it’s about building a stronger community, encouraging physical activity, and bringing people together from New York. Through healthy competition and teamwork, we aim to inspire character development, a competitive spirit, and a sense of unity for everyone involved.

Youth Training

Empower your child's love for sports while fostering valuable life skills.  Our youth soccer training program welcomes players of all levels! Guided by expert coaches, young athletes will develop their technical skills, game awareness, and physical fitness in a supportive and engaging environment. Just like the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraged a healthy body and mind, our program uses structured drills, small-sided games, and personalized feedback to nurture a love for the game. But it's not just about the footwork! We emphasize sportsmanship, teamwork, and confidence – values that resonate deeply within Islamic teachings.
