What we’re about

## Metro Detroit Recreational Pick-Up Basketball

Welcome to a community for anyone looking to play fun, respectful pick-up basketball—indoors or outdoors—across Metro Detroit. No league commitments, no pricey gym memberships—just the game.

### Who Can Join

Players of all skill levels and backgrounds are welcome, as long as you have basic basketball ability. We value sportsmanship and camaraderie:

  • No hard fouls, trash talk, or excessive showboating
  • Physical play is fine within reason—let’s avoid injuries that may cause people to miss work or school

### Game Format

  • Most games are full-court 5-on-5
  • If fewer than 10 players show up (rare), we adjust accordingly
  • Games are short to allow quick rotation
  • Sign-ups are limited, but waitlists often move—players frequently drop out last-minute

### 🏀 Outdoor Games (May–September)

  • Saturdays, 10 AM–12 PM
  • Rotating courts across Metro Detroit: Lawson Park (Royal Oak), Griffin Park (Canton), Butzel Family Center (Detroit), and others
  • Free to play

### 🏀 Indoor Games – Saturday Mornings (Winter)

  • Saturdays, 10 AM–12 PM
  • Gym in Livonia
  • $8 per player

### 🏀 Indoor Games – Weeknights (Year-Round)

  • Tuesdays & Thursdays, 7 PM–9 PM
  • Gyms in Dearborn
  • $10–$12 per player

Special thanks to Tim O., our founder, for bringing this group together.
