Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA Men's Basketball League

The Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA is place of health and wellness for all ages!  Men within the community stay active in the Y’s Men’s Basketball League for men ages 30 and over.  It recently held its third annual draft night and has been running preseason scrimmages. 

An opening tip is scheduled for Sunday, December 4th at the Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA, 1340 Martine Avenue in Scotch Plains.  There will be three games played at the Y beginning at 10:15am.

The league started two years ago by Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA Staff and Members, Kevin Adams, Anthony Davis and Kevin St. Onge at the Martine Facility and has grown 66%, now fielding six teams in two divisions set to play a 12-game season followed by playoffs and a championship.

Last season, the league played a 12-game regular season with a single-elimination playoff.  This year’s teams look evenly matched and combined with new talent and veterans. 

Men’s Basketball League is a competitive league for ages 18 and up and most games will be played on Sunday between 10:00am – 2:00pm and some Monday nights.  Participants will play a full court with a 15 week regular season.  Scores, standings and statistics will be kept for this league.  Games will have two officials.  Late registrations are still being accepted on first-come, first-serve basis for this league and forms are available at the Member Service Desk at the Martine Avenue location.
