If you are in highschool...

Do you have a freetime basketball type of thing after school sometimes? I mean you just come to the gym and play whatever you want until game times, and then you make a team of 4 and play other teams of 4, winners stay on.

Do you have a thing like that? Cuz I do, sometiems at lunch too. My school also has intermeral or w/e for basically every sport, well i think every highschoool has that.

The last school I went to was next door to a really good basketball stadium with 3 or 4 courts. We could use it for free during school hours but outside of school it's $3.70 unlimited time.

Yeah we do, we usually play 3 on 3. When we have more players, we play 5 on 5.

[Mikki]

Yeah, we have that but I rarely play since I don't bring extra playing clothes.

[Cloudy]

Haha, we play in uniforms... After that we go home or just go have some food..

Yeah that happened to me in year 8/9, I found a way around it though. Just stopped going to lessons.

I don't have anyplace to go when it's bad weather and I want to play.
50% of my school probably doesn't even know what basketball is and of the rest 40% only knows Michael Jordan as basketball player.

during basketball season the gym was opened from end of school (2:20) to like 6 when practice starts, then open again after that.

Usually every Wednesday, the gym is open during lunch for ONLY basketball unless an intermeral sport is going on. And on Fridays (unless the school team is playing at home) the gym is usually open after school from 3:20-4:45 or 5:00.

I used to do that but after you play, the feeling isn't really that good with all those sweaty unis.

[cyanide]

My school wouldn't let us play during lunch unless there was a teacher volunteering to watch, and that rarely happens. And when it does happen, the teacher would rather have us play volleyball instead of basketball

As for outside hoops... too cold.

My school has three different lunch periods, so there's no gym time during the day. After school there's always practices for the various teams, so no luck then either. Luckily for me, since I got cut from the b-ball team ( ), the coach said I could shoot during the half-hour between the end of morning practice and the beginning of school (only me, not anyone else), because I asked him what I needed to do to make the team next year, and he said work on my shooting. He even volunteered to help me sometimes
