Decentralizing Sports
One Game at a Time
Pickup.Earth believes in giving the art of pickup basketball back to the players and facilities that host. Founded by a group of hoopers, we understand the challenge of getting a good run in. Gathering enough players, coordinating a time that works across all parties, much less finding a gym you can access. Hopefully once you’ve done all of that everyone shows up. How exhausting! Or how about showing up to an open gym time where there aren’t enough players. Or worse, you get there and there are too many players, forcing you to wait sometimes for what feels like hours. That’s where we at Pickup.Earth come in!
Currently, there are hundreds of facilities across the State of Oklahoma that are underutilized. Pickup.Earth will partner with local gyms, schools and/or churches beginning in Oklahoma City and Edmond in order to facilitate competitive 5v5 Pickup. No more waiting around. No more needing to find a key and/or 9 others to get a game going. We handle it all. Just sign up, choose a location and time, show up, check in, and get hooping! Guaranteed 5v5 without the wait and hassle!
Pickup.Earth is all about building community beginning with the game of basketball. The beauty of sports is that they bring us all together. Regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, and/or socioeconomic class. At Pickup.Earth we plan to help hoopers hoop while also serving struggling gyms, schools, and/or churches by allowing them to maximize their true potential. Pickup.Earth will have a profit sharing model, allowing these facilities to have more disposable income to put to good use towards their communities. More funding for teachers, school supplies, facility updates, philanthropic endeavors etc.
This Pandemic has taught us a lot of things. How connected we are. How fragile and precious our collective existence is. Schools, gyms, and churches closed. Businesses permanently shut down. It’s time to build new and we must find better ways of operating. Better ways of doing that work for all of us. All of us on planet Earth. Together, we can and will improve our communities! One Pickup at a time. We currently are working to expand our operations across the State in order to give more options to you, the players. The goal is that you’ll never have to travel more than 15 miles to find a competitive run!
