Omaha Gears Up for Friday Morning Hoops & High-Impact Connections

Omaha has a new reason to wake up early on Fridays, and it’s not for coffee.
The Pickup Project is redefining what it means to network, connect, and build community through a basketball court. Every Friday at 6:30 a.m., professionals, creatives, and community leaders gather to hoop and develop meaningful relationships that extend far beyond the court.
It's not just pick‑up basketball, it’s a curated hour of four fast‑paced 5-on-5 games designed to fit into busy schedules. Here’s what makes it different:
Efficient format: Four quick games in one hour. High energy, minimal time investment, just enough to get your blood pumping without eating into your workday.
Structured introductions: You’re not just thrown on teams, you’ll meet and rotate through players in a way that builds real relationships.
Fair play, every level: Whether you’re breaking in new sneakers or cutting your teeth on the court, respect and a welcoming vibe are staples thepickupproject.com.
“I love the respect that is shown for everyone, no matter their skill level,” said Ronnie Darnell, a member on The Pickup Project’s website. “I’ve also met really great friends through playing more regularly. Always looking forward to Friday!”
That speaks volumes, as does the growing energy surrounding this weekly ritual.
