How Ubuntu + FCA “Married” to Birth EBL Values
FCA values are rooted in the example set by Christ, providing a biblical foundation for how we lead, serve, and grow together. Ubuntu teaches togetherness—the truth that we are deeply connected and that no one rises or falls alone (“I am because we are”). It calls us to live with respect, compassion, and humility, placing people above personal spotlight.
FCA reinforces this same heart through its core values of Teamwork, Serving/Sacrifice, Integrity, and Excellence—principles that shape character, strengthen unity, and develop authentic leaders. When Ubuntu and FCA values intersect, they form a culture that sustains the mission and vision of the Elementary Basketball League (EBL), both on and beyond the court.
Ubuntu: Togetherness
Ubuntu: Respect
Ubuntu: Compassion
Ubuntu: Humility

The EBL is the entry point—not the destination. Our Beyond the Court Leadership Camp is where our core values come alive and lasting transformation begins.
