波波维奇的支柱项目将在全年举办庆祝活动
根据马刺队的新闻稿：
由必胜客冠名的马刺青年篮球联赛 (SYBL) 宣布了其 35 周年庆典活动。SYBL 最初被称为“禁毒联盟”，自成立以来一直是德克萨斯州南部和中部地区的基石，通过强调团队合作、协作、尊重和纪律，塑造了数十万年轻运动员的人生。
1990 年，马刺队主教练格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)和儿童体育网络总裁兼创始人弗兰克·马丁(Frank Martin)发起了 SYBL。该组织每年在 25 个不同地点拥有近 10,000 名参与者。
马刺体育与娱乐部影响力、人群和归属感首席官卡拉·艾伦(Kara Allen)表示：
“在过去的 35 年里，SYBL 不仅致力于向年轻人传授篮球比赛，还致力于培养对我们下一代取得成功至关重要的生活技能和性格特征。”
今年，SYBL 将在整个 2024-25 赛季举办一系列社区活动、筹款活动和特别参与活动。
- “篮球狂欢”开球活动： 9 月 29 日星期日，SYBL 将在乔治·格文学院（地址：6944 S. Sunbelt 78218）为过去和现在的 SYBL 运动员和工作人员举办为期一天的庆祝活动，时间为上午 10 点至下午 1 点，活动包括篮球技能挑战、小规模比赛和纪念照片站。运动员和家属可以在此处注册参加活动。
- 校友和运动员参与： SYBL 校友将作为特邀嘉宾出席精选的马刺队比赛和社区诊所。此外，SYBL 运动员和志愿者教练将在整个赛季的精选主场比赛中获得免费门票，为马刺队加油助威。
- 周年纪念T恤： SYBL 将推出一款限量版 90 年代风格的纪念T恤，并将在整个赛季的各种活动中出售。这款复古主题的服装是对联盟根源和塑造其早期的那个影响深远的时代的致敬。
- SYBL 球场接管： 本赛季晚些时候，弗罗斯特银行中心将举办 SYBL 球场接管活动，这是一个为期一天的活动，届时 SYBL 运动员将在与圣安东尼奥马刺队相同的球场上占据中心舞台。来自德克萨斯州南部的 SYBL 运动员将参加比赛、技能挑战赛和 SYBL 球队合影。更多细节将在本赛季晚些时候公布。

Pop’s mainstay will commemorate with events throughout the year
Per the Spurs press release:
The Spurs Youth Basketball League (SYBL), presented by Pizza Hut, announced celebrations for its 35th anniversary. Originally known as the Drug-Free League, SYBL has been a cornerstone in the South and Central Texas area since its founding, shaping the lives of hundreds of thousands of young athletes through its emphasis on teamwork, cooperation, respect and discipline.
Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich and Kids Sports Network president/founder Frank Martin launched the SYBL in 1990. The organization has nearly 10,000 participants each year through 25 various locations.
Kara Allen, Chief, Impact, People and Belonging Officer at Spurs Sports and Entertainment stated,
“For the last 35 years, SYBL has rooted itself on not only teaching young people the game of basketball but also the critical life skills and character traits that are necessary for our next generation to succeed.”
This year, the SYBL will host a series of community events, fundraisers and special engagements all throughout the 2024-25 season.
- Jam Session Tip Off Event: On Sunday, Sept. 29, SYBL will be hosting a day of celebration for past and present SYBL athletes and staff at the George Gervin Academy (6944 S. Sunbelt 78218) from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., featuring basketball skills challenges, small-sided games and a commemorative photo station. Athletes and families can register for the event here.
- Alumni and Athlete Involvement: SYBL alumni will be honored as special guests at select Spurs games and community clinics. Additionally, SYBL athletes and volunteer coaches will receive complimentary tickets to cheer on the Spurs during select home games throughout the season.
- Anniversary T-Shirt: SYBL is releasing a limited-edition, 90s-inspired commemorative shirt that will be sold at various events throughout the season. This retro-themed apparel pays tribute to the league’s roots and the influential era that shaped its early years.
- SYBL Court Takeover: Frost Bank Center will host the SYBL Court Takeover later this season, an all-day event where SYBL athletes will take center stage on the same court as the San Antonio Spurs. SYBL athletes from across South Texas will participate in games, skills challenges and SYBL team photo shoot. More details will be shared later this season.
