BEGINNINGS
East Valley Youth Basketball was born out of the East Valley Flag Football league created in 2015 and later sold and renamed Gridiron Flag Football. Our inaugural basketball season was the summer of 2019 and we've been serving the East Valley ever since. We've now grown to be one of the largest youth basketball leagues in the valley - hosting 5 seasons per year (winter, spring, summer 1, summer 2 and fall). Since the league doesn't do much, if any, marketing, we owe our success to the many volunteer coaches and families who have helped spread the word. Thank you!
