Jr. EYBL
The Jr. EYBL (Junior Elite Youth Basketball League) is a youth basketball circuit that serves as a developmental extension of the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL). It is designed for younger players, typically in the middle school age group (grades 6–8), to compete in high-level tournaments that mirror the structure and competition style of the EYBL.
The Jr. EYBL is one of the most competitive youth basketball circuits in the country, serving as a developmental league for middle school players aspiring to showcase their talent at a national level. It mirrors the structure of the high school Nike EYBL, a league that has produced many of today’s top college and NBA stars. For players with dreams of competing on a bigger stage, the Jr. EYBL is a crucial stepping stone.
Our programs are designed to help young athletes develop the skills and experience they need to compete at the highest levels of youth basketball, including Jr. Elite Youth Basketball League (Jr. EYBL). Here’s why:
Skill Development | We focus on individual player growth, ensuring that participants learn not just the basics, but advanced techniques that will help them succeed against elite competition.
Competitive Play | Our league mimics the fast-paced, high-intensity games seen at the Jr. EYBL level, preparing players for the speed and physicality required in top-tier youth tournaments.
Exposure and Opportunities | Players who perform well in our league will have the opportunity to try out for our Jr. EYBL teams in the spring, giving them a chance to be seen and compete in front of scouts and coaches at some of the country’s premier basketball events.
Guided by a Proven Star | With the endorsement and involvement of former NBA All-Star Joe Johnson, our league benefits from the insight and experience of someone who has reached the highest levels of the game. Joe’s support ensures that we are not just teaching basketball, but preparing young players for real opportunities in elite youth circuits like Jr. EYBL.
By joining our programs, your child will be on a direct path to play at the Jr. EYBL level, where their skills can be showcased to national scouts and top programs. This is more than just local basketball; it’s a pathway to high-level competition and future opportunities.
