    MN Youth Basketball Virtual Outreach Sessions presented by Jimmy John’s and brought to you by www.myas.org Thank you to the 94 youth basketball association leaders representing 85 youth basketball associations from around the state of Minnesota, for attending the Virtual Outreach Sessions. One of our many goals as an organization is to link regional volunteer youth sports programs with others statewide and that is what we intend to do. We are here to provide guidance, support, and assistance to every youth basketball association in the state of Minnesota. Our goal is to unify the Minnesota youth basketball community which will foster the 5 C’s: 1. Compliance 2. Communication 3. Connectivity 4. Consistency 5. Conciseness As the 2020-2021 winter community-based basketball season draws closer and closer, we need to ensure that the entire Minnesota Youth Basketball Community is #strongertogether. We know many youth basketball leaders have expressed much concern about the upcoming season due to the unknowns we have at this time. We know that a task force was created by the MSHSL to determine the direction of winter sports. A decision will then be made by the MSHSL Board of Directors in October. This decision will not dictate what happens at the youth level, but it will greatly impact how we move forward as a youth basketball community. At the MYAS, we have proven that with the correct safety precautions and guidelines in place, we are able to administer youth basketball tournaments in a safe way. That is our #1 priority for your youth basketball association to do the same this winter.

  • Athlete Spotlight. Eddie Penev, Gymnastics
    THE UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT. EDDIE PENEV, GYMNASTICS This month we caught up with Eddie Penev, a Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center resident in the men’s artistic gymnastics program. Q: How are you preparing for trials? A: “Well, this is my first time around. I am preparing in a completely different way than I have in the past. This time is 100% commitment to gymnastics. I have never had the chance before to just focus on gymnastics. It was always gymnastics and school, so this feels great.” Q: How has training at the CSOTC helped your success? A: “It has helped with everything that goes into gymnastics besides gymnastics – nutrition, conditioning, recovery, cardio. If this is really what you want, this is where to go to succeed. I always tell people it’s like going to college for athletics.” Q: What do you see as your greatest challenge(s) on your road to Rio? A: “I think my biggest challenge is going to be myself. I need to make sure to treat this process like every other competition I’ve ever done, which is hard since there is so much hype over the Games. I learned how to compete a while ago, so I have to treat this process like any other set of competitions.” Q: What is the best advice you’ve been given? A: “‘Excuses are the nails that built the house of failure.’ My ninth grade high school global history teacher said it and it just stuck.” Q: What is the biggest risk you’ve ever taken? A: “Coming back from my knee injury two years ago.
