Founded in 2021, National Youth Sports Events (NYSE) was created with the mission to provide a fun, competitive, and developmental basketball experience for youth athletes in Central Florida, operating in the communities of Lake Nona, Avalon Park and Kissimmee. Serving boys and girls from 1st through 10th grade, NYSE is committed to developing not only the skills of young basketball players, but their basketball IQ, through mentorship and training. ​NYSE is a recreational youth basketball league, we are not an AAU program and are not affiliated with any AAU organization. We proudly operate as an independent league, offering a unique and balanced alternative for families seeking high-quality basketball development without the pressure or travel demands of national AAU competition. Our league operates across five age divisions (Mini Ballerz, Jr. Ballerz, Rising Stars, All Stars and JV Hoopers), offering a pathway for athletes to grow from beginner to advanced players in an environment focused on development, teamwork, and sportsmanship. We emphasize the importance of mental and physical growth, ensuring that each child learns the game, while also gaining valuable life skills along the way. At NYSE, every game is officiated by certified referees, ensuring fair play and a professional standard for every competition. Our focus goes beyond just the players, when you register your child, you're also welcoming the whole family into the NYSE community. We truly believe that basketball is about more than just the game; it's about building relationships, fostering community, and creating lasting memories.​ Our game days are filled with excitement, energy, and passion, as players take to the court, supported by families and mentors who share a commitment to their success. NYSE offers a balanced option right above your traditional recreational leagues and just below national competitive leagues, providing a premier basketball experience for youth athletes who are ready to learn, compete, and grow. Join NYSE and become a part of something special, where the entire family can thrive together on and off the court!​ #PLAYNYSE
