NIL PROGRAM

Virginia Elite has collaborated with sports and entertainment attorneys from the renowned law firm of Rimon Law, P.C. to launch a Name, Image and Likeness (NIL and More) program. Our NIL program engages sponsors to leverage our athletes name, image and likeness as a platform to benefit our partners and athletes. This endeavor is separate from the grassroots basketball program that other athletes can leverage our programs experience in the sports and entertainment world.
