About LYBA

History of Loveland Youth Basketball

Loveland Youth Basketball Association was formed in the 1970's with the purpose of promoting basketball within the Loveland area. Due to the many individuals who have contributed their time and efforts we have grown to one of the largest youth organizations in the Cincinnati area. We are one of only a few organizations who provide both a competitive format and a recreational league right within their home town.

Our program provides uniforms, basketballs, and organizational structure to participants. The association uses facilities provided by the Loveland School District. Enrollment has been on a steady increase. Our enrollment for the 2003/2004 season hit an all time high with 670 participants. We are expecting a similar enrollment for the 2005/06 season.

Special thanks to our past presidents Wiley Kyles, Randy Russell, and Ken Lester for their leadership and contribution to the LYBA. And thanks to Steve Gellenbeck and Victor Leopold for their many years of service. These selfless volunteers built the foundation on which our organization stands, and from which it will be moving forward.
