CHURCHES WITH BASKETBALL GYMS

Basketball is the front door to the community.

Pickup helps your church open the gym to neighbors through consistent, well-run basketball games—building relationships while helping cover the cost of keeping the doors open.

An empty gym can become a gathering place.

Pickup monetizes unused courts by turning empty gyms into communities

From

A gym's weekly schedule with most hours empty and no revenue coming in

To

The same weekly schedule filled with orange Pickup game slots in the previously empty hours

CASE STUDY

Agnes Scott College

From empty Sundays to a weekly community run

$125+ every Sunday

15-18 players a week

~ $500 / month

0 extra staff

The gym sat empty on Sunday nights. With The Pickup App, the local community can now come play. Each week over 15 people pay and sign up for a pickup run. No extra staff, no extra work. They simply post the game and open the doors.

Vet your players

Vet and rate players so you always know who's in the building. You have full control to know who is coming to your gym.  Players show up with an attitude? Block them from future games. 

04Pickup app checkout screen showing ticket price, fees, and card payment

Monetize through tickets

You set your hours and your prices. Host unlimited games at whatever price is right for your facility.  Use ticket revenue to help cover gym costs, fund ministry, or create more opportunities for neighbors to gather.

We work alongside your existing booking tools. Simply identify unused hours and create Pickup games when you don't have a big rental.
