Our Board Members are fantastic humans that volunteer their time to our amazing league!
mike jubak, president
Born and raised in Yonkers, I played mostly football during my school days. But it was my love of all sports that first drew me to volunteer with AYYA in 1999. I’ve held many positions with AYYA, but my favorite of all is being called Coach!
I work as a property manager by day, but once evening rolls around you are sure to find me at one of our fields or gyms, working to support the organization in any way I can. My two kids grew up in the organization, and now as adults, they volunteer their time as well.
KINNA PATEL, SECRETARY
Hello everyone, I’m Kinna Patel. I served as vice president of the Board, and now I serve as secretary. My journey with AYYA started when my daughter was 6 and my son was 4. We drove past a field and she said “I want to play that!” 10 years later we are still playing softball! My son, now 14, plays baseball, and every other sport AYYA offers.
As a league, our goal is not only to teach and coach sports, but to also teach good sportsmanship and discipline. Our teams are not just teams; they are little families. The children form the friendships, and you’ll see that the parents become great friends too. We are a family-oriented league...come join our family!
DIANE SCOTT, TREASURER
I have been a parent volunteer with AYYA since 2006 when my daughter played soccer on fall Saturday mornings on Cook Field as a Yonkers pre-K student. When my son was old enough to take the field, he put on a uniform and joyfully started his journey with AYYA. My children have participated in all of the sports offered and I have coached soccer, basketball, flag football, and volleyball.
In 2014, during an AYYA holiday party, I said my daughter was interested in playing volleyball and suggested we start offering it. The board members present said, “Great idea. How soon can you get that going?” I became a board member and Commissioner of the volleyball program the next year. That’s what I love about AYYA! We are all just parents striving to create opportunities for our children and all the children of Yonkers.
