About

LBA Leagues is a sports league program that includes basketball, baseball, football, volleyball, bowling, and chess. The program uses high-end equipment in state-of-the-art gyms for its games and activities. It is run like a national sports league with professional coaches working with the players.

• Ages: 6–18 years old

LBA Leagues is led by its dynamic founder, Shimon Friedman, with R' Moshe Zev Feldman, an esteemed posek, consulted on questions or concerns, and R' Moshe Berman associated with phone number 732-600-5144. Since the summer of 2017, when the founder first received permission to use the gym at Yeshivas Mayan HaTorah and organized the first games, the program has grown to include Junior, Teen, and Adult divisions. It now has over 3,000 players organized into over 500 teams playing weekly, with competitive end-of-season playoffs, weekly scores and standings published for fans, and team and individual trophies for season winners.

Players receive branded jerseys, bags, and baseball caps, and sponsors’ branding appears on players’ backs, bags, and caps. LBA Leagues includes an LBA Special team for children with special needs to learn skills, play hard, and feel part of LBA. The program works with local schools and yeshivos and focuses on middos and derech eretz, including awarding outstanding middos with Avery & Jay’s reward cards, and local businesses sponsor LBA teams while gaining marketing exposure through the league.

The founder’s stated mission is: “My ultimate goal is that everyone who comes into contact with LBA should be positively impacted- players, fans, sponsors and the community as a whole.” Testimonials from parents, sponsors, and followers describe children enjoying LBA Junior, LBA Bowling Junior, and other LBA seasons, note that every child feels like a winner, and mention that the program is run very well and continues expanding and being perfected. Parents also report that their sons had “tons of fun,” felt proud, were very involved, and appreciated having what they describe as a “kosher and fun outlet,” and one parent shared that a child chose to learn extra Gemara after a win.
