There are plenty of opportunities to be social as part of your gym-going experience. Group exercise classes are an obvious choice. However, recreational sports, like basketball, are often overlooked. Elite Sports Clubs offers numerous recreational leagues and pick-up games for you to not only have fun playing the sport, but also hang out with your friends and meet new people. Learn more about the social opportunities at a basketball gym in Milwaukee near you.
Exercise is generally considered a solo activity. You go to the gym, lift weights, run on the treadmill, get your sweat on, and leave. However, it doesn’t have to be. Playing sports is a fun way to get active and social at the same time. Team sports allow our competitive members to interact with and face off against one another. Even if you don’t know anyone at the club, no worries. Elite Sports Clubs is a basketball gym in Milwaukee, as all five locations have courts. Here are some of the social basketball programs we offer.
Pick-Up Games
Pick-up games are the best way for new players to get acquainted with our regulars. These games are friendly competition for those that just want to get out and play and be social with fellow members. No stats are recorded and the games by and large are played to have a good time and get in a good sweat. If you want to meet some fellow members, all you have to do is show up and play at our designed pick-up times!
Pick-up games are scheduled on set days throughout the week, which vary at each Elite location. Check out our pick-up game schedule here.
Basketball Leagues
If you’re more of a competitive player, our basketball leagues are for you! During our basketball leagues, we record stats and utilize a staffed referee. We hold league sessions year-round that usually culminate in a final tournament and social/party with prizes awarded to the winning team. Even if you don’t know anyone, or have a full team assembled, we’ll put you on a team.
Tournaments
We regularly hold basketball tournaments for both kids and adults. Typically our tournaments last 1-2 days with a half-court, 3v3 format. Just like our basketball leagues, we are happy to put you on a team if you don’t have one assembled beforehand. We also have held single-elimination H-O-R-S-E tournaments. Whatever form our tournaments take, they are always a fun way to socialize with fellow players or member families. Follow our social channels as we regularly update our programming and are always looking for fun and creative ways to keep things exciting for all ages.
Skill Challenges
Join your fellow basketball enthusiasts at one of our basketball skills challenges to see who is the best at the clubs! Skills challenges range from 3-point shooting to free throw shooting to dribbling courses. We typically create multiple age divisions to keep a level playing field. This is a great way to meet other member families, as they are largely targeted to kids or high school students.
