OUR TEAMS CURRENTLY REPRESENT FIVE DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS AND WILL PLAY IN AN AGGREGATE OF MORE THAN 400 GAMES IN ROUGHLY 40 DIFFERENT VENUES ACROSS A DOZEN STATES. OUR AFFILIATION WITH NIKE SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDS OUR BRAND AND CREATES VALUE FOR OUR SPONSORS.NIKE INVITED THE NJ SCHOLARS ACADEMY INTO ITS HIGHLY PRESTIGIOUS NIKE ELITE BASKETBALL LEAGUE (EYBL). IT IS THE MOST HIGHLY REGARDED AMATEUR DEVELOPMENT, TRAINING AND EXPOSURE PROGRAM OR "CIRCUIT" IN THE UNITED STATES. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE 2018 NBA DRAFT, 12 OF THE TOP 14 NBA DRAFT CHOICES WERE NIKE EYBL ALUMNI. OUT OF THE TOP 100 RANKED AMATUER BASKETBALL PLAYERS IN THE COUNTRY, APPROXIMATELY 80 OF THOSE PLAYERS WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE EYBL. ALMOST ALL PLAYERS IN THE EYBL EVENTUALLY COMPETE AS NCAA DIVISION I ATHLETES. THE NIKE EYBL ONLY ALLOWS 35 ELITE BASKETBALL TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR LEAGUE AND OCCASIONALLY PERMITS NEW TEAMS EVERY FEW YEARS. WE ARE PROUD OF THIS RECOGNITION AND WILL USE IT TO EXPAND OUR EFFORTS TO DEVELOP LOCAL YOUTH AND SUPPORT, ENHANCE, ENLIGHTEN AND EMPOWER THE UNDERLYING COMMUNITIES THAT WE SERVE.
