What is pickup basketball?
- A pickup game in basketball is a social game that is mainly for fun or practice. You may also hear them called scrimmages.
- Teams are typically made up randomly and the first team to score a specified amount of points wins.
- There aren’t any universally written rules or regulations whatsoever. Each country, province, state, city, neighborhood, etc. have their own unique set of rules.
- These rules can be learnt as you play on the court.
What makes it unique from more organised full court basketball games?
- Most people are going out to play pickup basketball for the social aspect, to work on their cardio, or to get some extra practice in. For the most part, everyone is there to have fun!
- There’s no referees or scorekeeper present, so everyone is working on the honor system. You’ll usually have someone who decides to keep track of score. If you feel like a foul has been committed, you call foul and the game resets at the top of the key.
- The only rule that does seem to be applicable in pickup basketball in most games. Whenever there is a disagreement on a call, shoot for it. A player from either team shoots a 3 pointer - you make it, the ball is yours. If you miss, the other team gets the ball.
