Do you have a way to shoot baskets indoor?

I'm OP, and my 12 year old's go to activities are all outside.  He'll happily ride his bike for hours, play fetch with the dog, or shoot baskets, but as the weather gets colder, and it's dark early, he's finding it harder to amuse himself.  Hence my question.

I have two other kids, close in age, one of whom loves to make stuff, whether it's baking or legos, or woodworking.  The other would read for hours.  But this son doesn't have a go to activity.  [/quote]

There hasn't been a single day this winter where it was too cold to play fetch with the dog or shoot baskets.[/quote]

NP with a 12 yo boy. Mine would happily do all of this in the cold but it gets dark early. I won’t let him ride bikes in the dark and we don’t live in and play for an outdoor hoop.  We have a basement and have converted a part to a workout room. We are slowly adding things and sometimes he goes down there and listens to music while he exercises. I try to go with him when I’m feeling motivated. It’s good for me too and he knows more than me from his coaches. We are slowly adding more but have mats, some basic weights, yoga balls. Sometimes DD uses it too to workout.  She’s easy and can find activities. She loves to read, draw and paint. [/quote]
