An “open gym” in basketball refers to a practice or workout session that is typically informal and unstructured. During an open gym, players of varying skill levels can come together to play pick-up basketball games, work on individual skills, or simply practice with others. These sessions are often held in gyms or sports facilities and are usually open to the public or specific groups, such as members of a team or local community.
Open gyms don’t usually have a set coaching schedule or drills, allowing players to practice freely, compete in games, or interact with other players. The focus is more on getting exercise, improving personal skills, and enjoying the game rather than formal team training or organized competition.
