Youngblood Basketball
The Youngblood league has proudly entered our 15th year, solidifying our reputation as the premier youth basketball league in Utah. Recognized for exceptional teams, outstanding players, and top tier coaches from across the Wasatch Front. Teams have also traveled from Boise, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, St. George, Las Vegas, & Denver to play in the league.
The league has a very impressive alumni base that includes former & current basketball and football players from Utah, Utah State, BYU, Weber State UVU, Southern Utah, Utah Tech along with Junior College Players in the state. Our league is a springboard for elite high school basketball players, propelling them towards college success.
We also must mention current NFL football players Zack Wilson (Denver Broncos), Dax Milne (Las Vegas Raiders) and Puka Nacua (Los Angeles Rams) who serve as the caliber of potential talent who have played in the league.
This is an AAU sanctioned league.
League Format
This is an invitation-only competitive league. Our goal is to create an environment where players can compete at the highest level while enjoying the best possible experience they will never get from any other league.
