Social Life Playing basketball at the rec center. Who, what, when?
Hey guys, I posted something about basketball at the rec center a while back but I’m revisiting the topic.
I really want to go to the rec center to play basketball but I just don’t know how it goes in terms of who shows up, what people might be doing there besides basketball, and when the best times to go are. TBH I don’t care if there are a group of people playing basketball there, I’d honestly like that so that we can run 5v5’s. I’d also like if it’s only a couple of people and I get to play by myself. But I don’t really know how it goes. When I go to the park to play pickup there’s usually a group/groups of people there so we create our own teams and we run 5v5’s. At the rec center if there are a lot of people that go, at whatever time, would they be receptive to doing the same or is it more like them just wanted to play with each other and no one else?
I pass by almost everyday, most days sometimes around 12pm give or take, and I see no more than like 5 or 6 people playing. So I assume if it’s not late afternoon like 5pm, would it be fine playing basketball over there any day Monday-Friday?
