Feeding DHS Basketball for 30 years
Announcing our expanded partnership with ALL IN Athletics!
Starting this season, the Deerfield Young Warriors will be managed as part of a new entity being formed by ALL IN Athletics. We've partnered with ALL IN for many years at the 3rd – 5th grade levels, and we're thrilled to expand that partnership to include all grade levels (3 – 8). Under the leadership of CEO Billy Welcome, ALL IN will now be responsible for day-to-day basketball operations including:
- Running tryouts and making teams* (tryouts will be in mid-October)
- Staffing coaches*
- Creating schedules*
- Collecting payments
- Uniforms
- Ongoing communication
*These will be collaborative tasks.
John Lyons, DYW founder and director for the past 30 years, will still be around the program – but will be taking a well-earned step back from day-to-day operations. Johnny Lyons will step in as Director of Basketball to focus on fostering a tight connection to the DHS program, from X's and O's consistency to overall philosophy and values.
We're very excited about this partnership, and believe it positions us to continue to provide the Deerfield community with a top-flight feeder basketball program well into the future. We've long considered ALL IN part of the DYW family, and we share in their mission of "educating, training and developing the whole person through basketball."
