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]

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.[10] The EYBL is played in different sessions in different cities across the United States.[10][11] 42 teams played in the first edition.[3] In later editions, other classes such as 16U (for players aged 16 and under) were created.[12] NBA player Chris Paul signed up his AAU team, CP3 All-Stars, for the EYBL;[13] Russell Westbrook also has his team, Team Why Not?.[14]

In May 2018 player James Hampton of Team United of North Carolina collapsed and died during an EYBL circuit game in Hampton, Virginia.[15]

Peach Jam

The Peach Jam is a basketball tournament played at the Riverview Park Activities Center in North Augusta, South Carolina[16] in the month of July. The Peach Jam serves as the EYBL circuit finals.[17][18] The Peach Jam was a preexisting tournament, founded in 1996;[19] since 2010, it was included in the EYBL circuit.[2][3][18]
