Is there no indoor place for basketball?

There used to be a church on the West Loop and San Felipe that would allow you to play for minimal pay, but that was a long time ago. The church was behind the building located at 2000 W. Loop South.

 

wow...paying to play on a court?

that makes me feel glad that i found this public indoor court in austin. but austin is not houston...so sorry i cant help.

 

where is this court you speak of? Not that I'm any good, but it might be fun to play anyway.

 

its in south austin....off of cumberland and south 5th street. right where cumberland dead ends. monday thru thursday its open 2 to 10pm i believe and on friday thru sunday its open like 2 to 6...not exactly sure...it may open earlier on the weekends.

most of the time its high school kids there...its usually best to go around 7 or 8 if you actually just want to shoot around.

 

I THINK it was named St. Michaels, but it was a loooong time ago and it wasn't a Catholic church. Back in those days (mid 1980s) it was about $10.00 total and we had the gym for at least 2 hours.

 

The University of Houston Rec Center has 5 or 6 really nice courts, and it costs 6 bucks to get in all day if you are not a student.

 

YMCA is where I have been playing for the last 12 years....good ball, and nice people.

Of course yesterday I came down on someone's foot, and my right ankle is the size of a grapefruit and purple.

i'd like to play


somebody get it together, and let's get it on.

 

I'll join. I'll do the UH thing, I was a student there last semester, I dunno if it's still valid though. I'd assume not since summer classes are going on, but I'll pay the 6 bucks to get in.

 

I'll be there.

Since like, I live on campus anyway.

 

I nominate Kam to get it all together.

 

I'll be the short (5'7) fat hispanic guy. , I can pass like no other though (well, this was 1-2 years ago, I haven't played since)

Although, would you guys make this a weekly thing? or at least once every 2-3 weeks? It'd be pretty fun I guess, I'll get a friend to join too if it happens

 

I've said before I work at the gym at North Harris College. Its 5 dollars if your not a student but its a pretty good indoor court.

 

If you a member of the 24 Hr Fitness
the one on Beechnut has a basketball court

Unfortunately they have no coordinated system of
who got next. . . . . so you run around asking everyone
then you figure u at the end of the line . . . then someone
run in from the gym saying it is their up

[I like the way the YMCA did it. . everyone signed the sheet
and when the game was up . . . . the next four play . . .
no matter who they are]

It is usually good folx . . . .

Count me in

I'm 6' tall, out of shape, can only jump about a half an inch, and don't have much endurance, but I have decent speed, can defend well, and (after practicing a few games) i'm a decent shooter.

It was the same way, then like a month or so ago they started the sign in sheet business.
