I will graduate in 2 weeks and then move to Chicago 2 weeks after that. I stay in shape by playing basketball a few times per week. I am worried that I won't be able to find convenient pickup games once I graduate. In college I could go any day between 3 and 8 to find games.
I have done some research on the matter and it appears that the only two gyms with basketball courts are the DePaul gym ($85/mo.) and East Bank Club ($125/mo.)
To be honest I'd like to move on from playing with college kids after I graduate, but I will be living 6 blocks east of the DePaul facilities. I will check out Oz Park in Chicago for outdoor games, but that will probably only be a summer weekend thing.
Has anyone faced this problem? Did you stop playing basketball as much or was it easy to find year-round pickup games in metro areas?
