Hey guys. My name is Evan and I play basketball at a small NAIA school here in Iowa. I will be doing an internship in Des Moines this summer and had been planning on playing in the Capital City League until I had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in April. I was wondering if anyone knew of any pick up games around the area. I plan on getting a YMCA membership so I can play in-doors and continue some work outs. So if anyone knows of any pick up games I can get in, any information would be nice. Thank you.

The Ankeny YMCA opens up to the high school gym on Wed nights and Sunday afternoons. I have not played in the games but from what I hear it is a pretty good place to find a game.

Aspen health club in urbandale has really good competition. Theres a lot of former college guys and guys still in college that play there. Does anyone remember Howard Eaton. He plays there. He was a former all big 8 defensive team guy

Thank you Wes Johnson for the great 2 years you gave Iowa State. Wish you could've stayed. Best of luck to you, wherever you end up.

Some teachers and other random people in Martensdale play Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6am. Kind of early I know. But for people that work early and have families, it's really the only good time to play. It's about a 10 minute drive from West Des Moines. There are a few people that played college ball that come. Not too tough, but a good time.

Anyone in the Ankeny area want to get pick up games going? That's the thing I miss the most about college is pick-up bball.

I was playing with a group of guys that rented out one of the Middle school gyms a couple hours a week but I'm not sure they are continuing through the summer.
