NIL & Division I Opportunities – Vital Sports Group Combine Tour

For athletes looking to secure NIL representation or transfer to the Division I level, the Vital Sports Group (VSG) x JSL Combine Tour is a major opportunity.

These combines are designed to help athletes connect with college coaches through the Vital Sports Group network. VSG has worked with numerous college athletes who have received strong NIL deals and Division I opportunities. The staff is actively looking for:

  • D1 players coming off strong seasons
  • D2 / NAIA / JUCO players who earned All-Conference honors
  • High-level players with the résumé and ability to compete at the D1 level

If you’re a player with limited exposure who needs the right network and representation to get recognized by Division I coaches, this is your chance.

Whether your goal is to:

  • Play Division I and secure NIL opportunities
  • Earn professional opportunities overseas
  • Compete at a high level internationally

JSL and VSG provide a real pathway.

If you believe you’re ready for the next level — register now and take your shot.

JSL 2026 – Compete Overseas. Compete at a High Level.

Japan Summer League (JSL) 2026 is built for serious players who want to challenge themselves, compete against professional-level talent, and experience what it’s like to play overseas. This is not a casual summer run — it’s an international platform in Tokyo where athletes train, compete, and showcase their game in a professional environment.

JSL gives players the opportunity to compete alongside and against B.League players and high-level international talent. We’ve had former JSL participants go on to earn 3×3 professional contracts and B.League contracts after attending the league. Players compete in front of professional teams, receive coaching from high-level professional coaches, and may be selected to participate in the JSL Pro Camp, where an NBA trainer will be present to help athletes elevate their skill set.

If you want to see how your game translates overseas and test yourself in a high-level international setting, JSL is your opportunity.
