Playing pick up basketball is a great way to stay in shape. Before you start playing pick up basketball make sure that you have a good pair of basketball shoes. Because the sport has a lot of running and cutting so you will need the support.

Here are some tips when playing pick up basketball

1. Try to play with other people that have similar skills as yourself. This is to make sure that you don't get clowned in front of everybody.

2. Before you even start playing, make sure that you stretch your muscles. This will keep you loose and less likely to get injured.

3. Make sure when you are playing that your are being a good sport, if you get fouled just call it,if you give a foul, do the same. It will make the game so much more pleasurable for all the parties involved. Don't forget the game is for exercise, and no one is getting paid.

4. Always keep your mind on the task at hand, which is playing basketball. You don't have a greater opportunity of getting hurt. Take it from me I got injured by not having my mind on the game while playing!

If you are growing tired of your workout routine, playing pickup basketball is a great way to break up the monotony. You may not be the next Michael Jordan, but playing pick up basketball will make you feel like it! How would you rate your game of basketball?
