A game that’s more than a century old, basketball offers an opportunity for people, whether kids or adults, to join in on a game that is great for exercise and for just having fun.

Offering tons of opportunities to celebrate and enjoy, Play Basketball Day may be celebrated in a variety of ways, such as:

Play Basketball!

Obviously, the first order of business on Play Basketball Day is to get out that basketball and head over to shoot some hoops. Whether it is a basketball hoop at a local park where it’s possible to play a pickup game, or playing a regularly scheduled game with a league at a local recreation center, this is the time to enjoy playing the game.

Throw a Play Basketball Day Party

Celebrating Play Basketball Day may just deserve a party! Host a basketball themed party that includes all sorts of fun things like basketball decorations and music playlists designed around the idea of sports.

Some fun basketball themed snacks for the party might include ideas like sugar cookies or cupcakes decorated with orange and black frosting to look like basketballs. It might also be fun to make a fruit pizza to look like a basketball, topping it with mandarin oranges and blueberries.
