N. Babylon Youth League Opens 2012 Football, Cheerleading Seasons

Joined by Suffolk Legis. Lou D’Amaro, D-North Babylon, Babylon Town Supervisor Rich Schaffer, Councilmembers Tony Martinez and Thomas Donnelly and fellow Suffolk Legis. Ricardo Montano, D-Brentwood, the North Babylon Athletic Club (NBAC) opened its 2012 Football and Cheerleading seasons with a grand parade and introduction of the more than 230 participants before parents, fans and community members last Saturday.   

After the parade down Phelps Lane in North Babylon, NBAC Commissioner Sal Levanti welcomed the superstars, aged 5-13 years old, to the field and wished them a successful season where sportsmanship, leadership and teamwork would continue to take precedence. The league is open to interested youths from any neighboring communities. Cheerleading Commissioner Kim Mirrione also addressed the crowd during the opening festivities. 

“It is a pleasure to welcome all football and cheerleading participants to the fields for another great season,” D’Amaro said.  “I thank Commissioners Levanti and Mirrione as well as all of the volunteers of the North Babylon Athletic Club for running this program which teaches children important leadership and teamwork skills that can be applied both on and off the field.”
