Founded in 2024, the Yonkers Breakin’ League (YBL) is more than just a sports program - it’s a dynamic community that fuses the athletic discipline of breaking with music, mentorship, and passion. Following two highly successful years of building community, cultivating talent, and establishing three city-wide teams, we are officially opening registration for our highly anticipated upcoming season!

Whether you want to master the art of breaking, push your athletic boundaries, or find a family of supportive peers, YBL is the place to be.

Why Join the YBL?

We treat breaking as a legitimate, high-level athletic endeavor requiring discipline, strength, and artistry. Here is what you will experience as a YBL athlete:
