Youth Basketball Open Play

Youth Basketball Open Play is a free, drop-in recreational session held at the Raleigh Community Center. Kids can use the indoor court to practice their shots, scrimmage with peers, or simply run around in a climate-controlled space. To participate, your child needs an active Open Play Pass. You can sign up for this pass online through the city's RecLink portal or grab one at the front desk when you arrive. Make sure your child wears clean athletic shoes with non-marking soles, and consider bringing a labeled water bottle to keep them hydrated. This session is an easy addition to your Saturday plans because it requires zero commitment. You do not have to sign up for a multi-week league, making it ideal for testing your child's interest in the sport before investing in gear.
