Because of the limited school leagues available in Los Angeles, a majority of our participants are traditional public and charter schools but even many private, religious, and dual-lingual schools participate in FIYA as well! For most of our schools, FIYA is the sole proprietor of sports opportunities for their students, but some of our other schools belong to outside leagues or programs and continue to participate in FIYA because of the diversity in competition and sports offerings. Many of our schools come from low economic areas and some are from more prosperous areas, but the common unifying theme is: each of our schools is made up of adults who see the value of a sports program within their school community and they work hard to bring it to fruition. We are very proud to be associated and involved with so many different people and educational institutions in our city, and hope that together we can make our local youth schools and communities stronger through sports.
