The Buddhist Church of Florin’s (BCF) Athletic Program is an affiliate of the Northern California Church League (NCCL) basketball league organized basketball program for boys and girls 3rd through 12th grade. Our Athletic Program recognizes that it is not a matter of who wins more games, or who can build the best team, but it is a matter of teaching our youths true sportsmanship, team spirit, how to love the sport of basketball and most of all, how to be respectful to others.
Participation in the BCF Athletic Program requires that its bylaws, rules of participation and consent and release clauses set forth below be complied with by all Athletic Program participants and their parents and/or guardians.
