Matt is committed to elevating St. Louis basketball. He’s focused on building a genuine community through steady leadership, healthy competition, and a deep respect for the game’s legacy.

“I wanted to create something that people can look forward to every week. When you “age out” of sports, if you’re like me, you chase that competition in everything you do. It’s a driving force. I wanted to help people who think like me network with like minded people.”

FAQs

What is the competition level like?

1

The competition level is respectful, but the culture is welcoming. Our adult pickup basketball games are designed for people who enjoy competing, improving, and playing with energy while still respecting the community and the people on the court. TPP is built around community through basketball, so the goal is competitive play with the right environment.

Whether you have recently played or it’s been 10 years since the last time you played, there is a spot for you.


The one-hour format is intentional. TPP is built for people who want high-quality adult pickup basketball without needing to block off half their day. The shorter format helps players get a great run in, build relationships, and start the day with energy. It is one of the reasons morning basketball works so well for professionals looking for fitness, friendship, and community before work.

Why just an hour of play?
