'Fathers
Know Best Youth Foundation' Presents PLAYTIME BASKETBALL
Fathers Know Best Youth Foundation is a New
Jersey non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization which supports AAU sports, education & mentoring
opportunities for the youth as well as participating in community outreach
programs with local children's hospitals in New Jersey and its surrounding
areas.
Our mission is to inspire our youth to become leaders,
champions, student-athletes and to empower them to be successful in school and
life through sports, education and community relation that will facilitate
systemic change. We promote values of selfless service that provides a safe
haven in the community. In addition to promoting positive change and growth for
children ages of 6 – 15, F K Best assists with building character that's
exemplified by leadership. Our particular focus is OUR youth. We set out to
strengthen their abilities and help them set short/long term goals and strive
for realistic dreams. We execute our mission by conducting programs for the
youth primarily in New Jersey and then branching out on a national level.
F K Best established the Youth Foundation in 2007. Funding for
the Foundation was made possible by parents of current players who participated
on the Teaneck Youth All Star basketball team and Bronx Kings ~ AAU basketball
organization. The parents are honest and hard working individuals who love
their children and support their activities. Over the past years, many of the
parents have watched their children play for various organizations. Since then,
we've decided to build an organization and youth foundation that would benefit
our children. We create opportunities and provide support for promising youth
to fulfill their potential in the classroom, on the court and in the community.
Birth of Fathers Know Best Youth Foundation. Connecting people
and organizations around common goals ~ FKB serve as a catalyst by encouraging
leaders (i.e. Educators, Athletes, Entrepreneurs and Musicians) to speak with
our children and primarily focus on their fields of expertise. They stress the
importance of education, family, sportsmanship and careers. Our objective is to
establish an AAU Basketball organization ~ “PLAYTIME”. We
have competed in many local and regional basketball circuits as well as
nationally, under the direction of our volunteer parents. F K
Best established a mentoring program ~ “Mothers
Know Better after Dark”. Our mentoring program relies greatly on parent participation.
We set out to provide tutoring sessions, travel outings such as visits to
Museums, Learning centers and designated Monumental sites.
In 2008, F K Best established a community outreach program ~ "THOUGHTS
for KIDS". Our community outreach program reaches out to
disadvantaged children in the community and sick children in the local
Children's Hospitals, throughout the holiday season, and provides gifts and
toys.

NCAA raises GPA requirements and more !!
NCAA raises GPA requirements and more

Lake Buena Vista, FL-- Ever hear your coaches or parents stress the importance of academics and making the proper grades to play a college sport?
Well, it's more important than ever before as the NCAA has increased the requirements for high school athletes to qualify to play a college sport. Starting with the Class of 2016 (high school freshmen), the changes are as follows:
Get with your high school counselor and map out a plan to keep you on track and keep your dream of playing a college sport alive.
Division I
· An athlete must finish 10 core classes before his/her senior year. Seven of the 10 courses must be successfully completed in English, math and science. See below for the definition of a core class.
· Athletes must have a minimum GPA of 2.3, up from 2.0.
· You can be an academic redshirt your freshman with a 2.0 GPA. You will only be able to practice with the team the first semester.
· Minimum GPA for junior college transfers increased to 2.5, up from 2.3.
For Division II, you have to have a minimum GPA of 2.0.
Along with GPA’s, the NCAA takes into account your SAT and ACT scores as well. Here’s how the NCAA incorporates standardize tests:
· Division I uses a sliding scale to match test scores and core grade-point averages (GPA).
· Division II requires a minimum SAT score of 820 or an ACT sum score of 68.
· The SAT score used for NCAA purposes includes only the critical reading and math sections. The writing section of the SAT is not used.
· The ACT score used for NCAA purposes is a sum of the following four sections: English, mathematics, reading and science.

NCAA definitions:
Core classes-- The subjects that are required to meet the academic standards to receive an NCAA scholarship (Math, science, language arts, history etc.)
GPA-- (Grade point average) This score only considers the 16 NCAA required subjects. Non NCAA required subjects such as physical education are not considered in calculating your GPA.
SAT Score: Standardized aptitude test (critical reading and math sections only)
ACT Sum: The best scores in the four disciplines on the test added together. You can take the highest score from each time you take the test. This is referred to as Super-Score.

Tip Off Classic 7th Grade Top Performers
Mikey Watkins (Playtime)
The
7th Grade Division at the Tip Off Classic was filled with talent. Here’s a look
at some of the other players that did damage this weekend.
Tip Off Classic 7th Grade Top Performers Part

Mikey Watkins Guard
(Playtime)- Watkins was a big part of Playtime’s march to the semifinals.
This season he has moved over to the off guard spot and this has enhanced his
willingness to score and confidence in his outside shot. I think this experience
will make him a well rounded player.
