Girls Nike Elite Youth Basketball League
The Girls Nike Elite Youth Basketball League, also known as Girls Nike EYBL, or simply Girls EYBL, is a basketball circuit for teams of players aged 17 and under. The circuit was founded in 2010 and is composed of AAU travel teams. 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, and includes one Canadian team.

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