The San Fernando Valley Japanese American Community Center Athletics Association invites your child to join one of our youth basketball teams.

Our teams compete primarily in either the Crescent Bay Optimist Invitational Sports League (CBO) or the Japanese American Optimist Girls Invitational Basketball League (JAO).

Games are typically played on Sundays between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. 

Kinder and 1st grade teams participate in the CBO League's Sure Shot division.  These games are played at either the San Fernando Valley Japanese American Community Center or the Venice Japanese Community Center.

Starting in 2nd grade, Boys teams will compete in CBO and Girls teams will compete in JAO. 

CBO league games are typically played in High School gyms located along the 405 corridor and at the Terasaki Budokan.  Games start the 1st week of November and run until the middle of February, about 8 - 10 games. 

JAO games are played in High School gyms located in the San Gabriel Valley.  Games start in January and run through March, about 8 - 10 games
