About the League
The Sussex-Wantage Basketball League is a recreation-level program for children in grades 3 through 8. Emphasis is on learning the game and developing skills and having fun. (For a more competitive level of play see the traveling league information below.) Playing time is distributed as evenly as possible. Boys and girls play on the same teams in 3rd and 4th grades. Girls play with girls, and boys with boys in the 5-8 grades. Games are usually scheduled for Friday nights and Saturdays. Home games are played at Sussex Middle School and High Point Regional High School. Practices are scheduled weeknights from 5 to 10 p.m.

Travel Basketball provides players with a more advanced and competitive level of the game of basketball. The program includes traveling to various locations, such as West Milford, Parsippany, Chester, Sparta, etc. for more experience and exposure to players, teams and programs from towns and locations outside our area. There is also a higher level of commitment needed to play traveling basketball due to the fact that there are more practices per week and about 20 games per season, which include tournament and playoff games. If you are interested in a new challenge like this, or if you would like to continue to advance your game in the sport of basketball, this may be the program for you. The Sussex/Wantage, Branchville/Frankford, and Lafayette Recreation Leagues will not be sponsoring traveling teams. If your children would like to play travel basketball, the High Point Cats and Lady Catz programs are an option for them.

To be eligible to tryout and play, players must attend High Point Regional District Schools (Sussex/Wantage, Frankford, Lafayette) and reside in the High Point District.

It is recommended that you register your child for recreation basketball. The recreation league registration check will be returned to you should your child make one of the traveling teams. Please indicate on your registration form that your child will be trying out for the Traveling Program.
