The level of team and individual talent amassed by the
National Youth Basketball League (NYBL) has been well document, and on
September 13th the league’s most elite players will make the trek to
Columbus, Ohio to participate in the NYBL All-Star Weekend. As part of the
event, the league will sponsor a slate of 5 all-star games between the 6th
and 7th grade divisions, including Top 20, Top 40 and Top 60 games
in the 7th grade division, and a Top 20 and Top 40 game in the 6th
grade division. The league will also be holding ring ceremonies in each of the
divisions.
Because the league-sponsored games will be held in
conjunction with the Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase, the all-star game
participants as well as all of the players who participated in the league will
have the opportunity to play 4 additional showcase games against players from
all over the country who may not have participated in the NYBL. In addition,
although the rosters for the NYBL all-star
games have been preselected, every player in the event will have the
opportunity to play their way into a final all-star game on Sunday, based on
their ranking during the course of the 4 showcase games. Bottom line, every
player in the league is invited to this event and will have the opportunity to
participate in high level games.
Below is a link to the NYBL All-Star Game rosters. The
players were selected based on their performance throughout the NYBL season. Primarily,
those players who made the various “Top Performer” lists were selected, based
on their ranking and position. Each team has 2 players per position. In
addition to the rosters, a list of alternates has been developed as
replacements for those players who cannot participate. Players selected for the
all-star games have until July 31st
to register and declare their intentions to participate. After that date, any player who has not
registered will be replaced by an alternate who has already registered. It’s
our intentions to insure that each of the roster spots is filled well in
advance of the event. As was the case last year, this event promises to offer
great competition, a high level of exposure and a great time! Congratulations
to all of the players who have been selected for the all-star games.
