The Nike Elite Youth Basketball League,[1][2] also known as Nike EYBL, or simply EYBL, is a basketball circuit for teams of players aged 17 and under. The circuit was founded in 2010[3] and is composed of AAU travel teams.[4] Both boys and girls play in the EYBL in their respective categories. The EYBL is considered one of the top youth basketball circuits in the United States,[5][6][7][8][9] and includes one Canadian team.[10]

History

The EYBL circuit was established in April 2010[3] with the aim of uniting AAU travel teams and establishing a national championship for youth teams.[11] The EYBL is played in different sessions in different cities across the United States.[11][12] 42 teams played in the first edition,[3] including the league's singular Canadian team, CIA Bounce.[13] In later editions, other classes such as 16U (for players aged 16 and under) were created.[14] NBA player Chris Paul signed up his AAU team, CP3 All-Stars, for the EYBL;[15] Russell Westbrook also has his team, Team Why Not? Other teams include Team Thad, owned by Thaddeus Young, Team Melo (Carmelo Anthony), and Team (Kevin) Durant. [16]

In May 2018, player James Hampton of Team United of North Carolina collapsed and died during an EYBL circuit game in Hampton, Virginia.[17]

EYBL circuit

The EYBL comprises the top 40 high school basketball circuit teams in America,[18][19] including one Canadian team.[10] The Peach Jam basketball tournament is played each July, serving as the annual EYBL circuit finals.[20][21] The Peach Jam is played at the Riverview Park Activities Center in North Augusta, South Carolina[22] Founded in 1996 as the Peach Basket Classic, the pre-existing tournament became the Nike Peach Jam in 1997,[23] and has been included in the EYBL circuit since 2010.[2][3][21]
