Nike 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).
At The PAC, we are always striving to put Oregon and its communities first by creating opportunities for young athletes to grow, compete, and succeed. Over the years, we have:
✅ Developed elite programs that provide training, mentorship, and academic support.
✅ Hosted top-tier tournaments to support our local talent.
✅ Renovated our facilities to ensure athletes have access to high-quality training environments.
✅ Partnered with local schools and organizations to remove financial barriers and expand opportunities for all athletes.
Now, we’re excited to share another incredible opportunity with our community and taking things beyond The PAC and uniting top programs across the state to form something bigger—TEAM OREGON.
Team Oregonhas officially accepted an invitation to compete in NIKE JR EYBL!
This is more than just an opportunity for our program—it’s a chance for Oregon basketball as a whole to make its mark on a national stage. Team Oregon will bring together the best talent from across the state to compete against the top programs in the country, proving that Oregon belongs among the basketball elite.
But this isn’t just about a single season—it’s our audition for a long-term spot in the Nike JR EYBL, EYBL, and EYCL circuits. Our performance will determine if we take the next step toward establishing TEAM OREGON as a permanent part of Nike’s elite basketball ecosystem.
