LEARN MOREABOUT YOUTH ALIVE

Youth Alive is the brainchild of Deepbond Global Sports Initiative; a not-for-profit organisation that employs sports, primarily the game of basketball, as a medium to reach individuals of diverse ages and background and assist them in maximizing potential and fulfilling the will of God concerning their lives.

At Deepbond, we are driven by the understanding that sports does not only keep one fit physically, but also teaches the fundamental life ethics of discipline, hard-work, perseverance, team-work, and staying calm under pressure.

The Youth Alive Basketball League (YABL) is one designed for all round development of its participants by showcasing the vital role of sports and education; and the target age groups are children, teenagers and young adults of both genders.

The maiden edition of the YABL was held from August 7th to 9th, 2008 in Lagos, Nigeria, with about 180 (one hundred and eighty) participants in attendance. Initially starting out as a 3-day program held annually, Youth Alive now enjoys a league format that runs for 6 months in a year, with a cross-country reach and almost 700 (seven hundred) participants recorded across the 30 (thirty) teams who joined the 17th edition held in 2024.
