Typical Busy Times for Pickup Basketball

  • Weekday evenings after work or school

Quiet Hours for Casual Play

If you prefer empty or less crowded courts for shooting around or playing small-sided games, look for:

  • Mid-mornings on weekdays
  • Early afternoon hours when most people are working
