Question: If I join SOCYG will I have to participate in
many fund raisers?
Fund raising is an important part of our Youth Group
activities. These activities provide the funds for running the
organization, awards for our players and offset costs involved with
gym rentals. But we recognize that our members have busy lives
and currently participate in only four fundraising events. They
are: SOC Reverse Raffle, Clipper's Night, SOC Pancake Breakfast
and Annual Awards Dinner Raffle.

Question: Where do you hold practices?
We have held basketball practices in various gyms in
and around the Whittier areas. Each year is a challenge to
secure a location for our youth to practice and we are very careful to
stay in good terms with the hosting gym. This year we are
holding practice at La Serna HS in Whittier on Saturdays. For
Baseball, we do not have a set field for practice as of yet but intend
to secure a field in the Hacienda/Rowland Heights area.

outside of organized sports.

Question: What is SEYO?
South East Youth Organization (SEYO) was
created in 1963 through the efforts of
Mr. Bob Wada. Bob not only started SEYO he also is credited with
founding our parent organization the Suburban Optimist Club
of Buena Park (SOC). In the beginning, SEYO started with only 5 teams,
the players coming
from the Whittier/La Mirada & Anaheim/Orange County areas. Today, SEYO
has grown to over 190 basketball and 30 baseball teams. SEYO is the
governing body and coordinator of organized basketball and baseball
league activities and is made up of representatives from all
participating youth groups. Link to their website:
