Casual basketball in MK?
Posted by Gidge18@reddit | miltonkeynes | View on Reddit | 11 comments
Hey everyone, I moved to MK last year and I've been looking to see if any groups play in the area?
I haven't played much in the past so I am a bit of a beginner, so hoping there are some casual groups about. Not brilliant weather for it either atm so bonus if anyone plays indoors.
I've seen a little bit about MK Knights online but I can't really find much information on them.

Cranfield, hmm, I'll have to do some looking up on there!

Just joined their facebook group and unfortunately they don't let any non students play on their indoor courts. Next option is I am going to ring a few leisure centres near me with indoor halls and ask if they have any groups that play.

Hey, tell me if you find something, I'm really out here shooting hoops all by myself 😅

Where is your favourite court?

Crazy in this weather, I’ve not tried since September 😂

The weather isn't too bad, I stay home on days it's raining :D

Hey hoopers!
I’m looking to set up regular Men's Intermediate-Advanced basketball scrimmages in Milton Keynes for players who have solid experience (e.g., club, league, competitive pick-up). The goal is to get good-intensity runs going with like-minded players who want a good run—not just casual shooting around.
If you're interested, please fill out this quick form:Â https://forms.gle/W8x1W6Dv5gzuVAMG7
Once I have enough responses, I'll create a WhatsApp group to coordinate games at the best available venue.
I am looking to get these sessions up and running within the next month.

Although I am in bedford, I'm willing to join as I too am looking for casual pickups/scrimmages. What do you say? There are plenty outdoor courts around :)

Not really managed to get any traction so far but this is definitely a start :)... although outdoor courts in the current climate might be a little patchy. I'm trying to see if there's a group at cranfield that will take non-students as it would be ideal to play indoors for the next few months.

Would be interested too

Not had any luck so far but still looking. I tried messaging a 3x3 group called Hoop Dreams MK but they look like they might be inactive now. Might try Cranfield uni.
