CASTLE NAMED SYBL COMMISSIONER
The Spurs Youth Basketball League and Pizza Hut announced San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle has been named the SYBL commissioner for this season.
As the presenting partner of SYBL, Pizza Hut is celebrating with a promotional offer to support the league’s mission and athletes in its 35th anniversary season and donating a portion of their proceeds to the youth league for every large one-topping stuffed crust pizza sold between Monday, Jan. 6 and Sunday, Feb. 9. Fans can place their order with any Pizza Hut in the San Antonio area at PizzaHut.com.
Coach Gregg Popovich selected Castle to serve as this season’s SYBL commissioner. Each year, the commissioner’s role is given to a player who exemplifies the youth league’s values and mission on and off the court. In this role, Castle will appear at various events throughout the SYBL season, mentoring and playing with the kids and assisting with running clinics. He is also featured alongside young fans in a new Pizza Hut Commercial.
“I’m humbled to be selected as the SYBL Commissioner, especially in this special anniversary season,” said Castle in a release. “SYBL has done incredibly impactful work in our San Antonio community over the last 35 years, so it’s an honor for me to join that legacy. My hope is to inspire and lead the next generation not only through my game, but also through my character, and I’m grateful to Coach Popovich for trusting me with this responsibility.”
