Open Basketball? Why is it so hard to find?

windowdressing · February 2007

I quit smoking and in order to retain my sanity I need to run around and be competitive. I'm looking for a basketball game to play in--either open or for a team, free or for a charge.

I am almost thirty, 6'4, and have some game--so I'm not looking to run against teenagers.

Please let me know what is out there... I am already playing in a game on Weds nights, but am looking for a run any other day. I am also interested in knowing the location of any outdoor hoops that draw likeminded individuals to play... as I haven't seen any in prospect park (why????) and I find it ridiculous to have to travel to Manhattan to find a game.

I've got a similar situation in fact. Six feet with decent game, trying to shed 10 lbs and get a good run in - NOT with teenagers. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm in. In fact, I've just now created a gmail address for anyone to go to if they want in. [email protected]
Maybe someone teaches at a local school and can get in to use the gym or somehting. I'll check the mail every day or so, or whenever I get really bored at work.

If you guys get a game going, I'd be in.

There's a court at the end of my block that's free a lot. Especially before the summer bball camps kick in.

I suggest looking into "meetup.com"

I've used it for soccer, I'm assuming they have basketball too.

what if you're short, slow and don't have game? let me know if you need one of those and I'm in.
