ABOUT THE ALUMNI LEAGUE
Founded in 2017 by Fahreed Cheatham, The Alumni League has created a home for highly competitive men’s basketball in three states, offering players an unmatched platform to showcase their talents. While all of our teams play for the love of the game, some find that the League also offers them the visibility to advance to another level. (We are always glad to see our players “discovered” by pro leagues.)
PROFESSIONALISM
IS
EVERYTHING
​
We play in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey, and wherever we
go, our mantra – professionalism is everything – makes us not only
serious competitors but also the league that elevates fans’ experience.
We play hard for the love of the game, and for the basketball legacies that our alumni teams and the region represent.
Our league runs year-round, giving our players constant exposure and opportunities to make it to the next level.
Our seasons run for 3 months and our playoffs capture fierce competition that is rewarded by additional exposure and tangible expressions of success.
