history
April 1998 met Victoria Voitovic and Eugene Gurianov from Tallinn, Oleg Okoulov from St. Petersburg, Dmitri Rostkovsky from Moscow, Raimundas Kairis from Kaunas , Aldis Neimanis and Guntis Shenhofs from Riga during an international tournament in Tallinn . This gave rise to the idea of creating a system of competitions in which youth teams from the Baltic states and Russia would play against each other.
6 teams played in the first season of the EYBL. The league since then has 144 teams (from five age groups) from 11 countries.
