SBCC offers a wide variety of drop-in sports for all ages. Play passes are now available for purchase! We ask that all participants bring their own equipment and check-in at the front desk before participating in the activity.
Family drop-in activities are an opportunity for families with children under the age of 18 to play together. At least one parent/guardian/caregiver of the same household must be participating on the court with children at all times. No drop-offs or team practices are allowed.

All participants are required to check in at the Front Desk, located on the second level, prior to playing. Check-In begins no sooner than 15 minutes prior to start time. Participants are welcome to come early and wait in line along the Art Wall in the hallway.
First, everyone signs the waiver on the clipboard and receives a wristband.

- Pass Holders: If you have a COB Play Pass, Fitness Center Monthly Pass, or FA Play Access Pass; scan card at the scan station, then go directly downstairs.
How much of set-up and clean-up are the participants responsibility?
- SBCC staff will set out the nets and poles rack, and adjust basketball hoops as needed. Set-up and clean-up of the equipment is the responsibility of the participants. For net sports, players are to use the last 15 minutes to teardown and fold or roll up nets, return poles and nets to the pole rack, erase the whiteboards, and leave the gym by the end of the drop-in time. If bleachers are moved for play, they must be returned to position under the side hoops. All balls, birdies, and trash must be cleaned up by participants. We ask that participants leave the gym in the same condition it was found and plan to fully vacate the gym by the end time of the session. Thank you!
