GIVE ME A BREAK. PLEASE.
ETA: No these are not my kids. And this kid doesn't move around the court or play. He simply stands stationary and bounces the ball for hours. Hours. Even on frigid days. I don't mind so much when the weather is decent - I know I moved in behind a school playground. I get that. But in this weather? GO HOME. NOW.
ETA2: And no he isn't ADD, ADHD or Austistic. Nor is he lonely. It is just no one is silly enough to come out to play with him on a day like today.

Seriously????
Invite them in for some beans, then maybe they will stop.
Kids! They aren't yours are they? This sounds like something my grandson would do.....but he played hockey, so he wouldn't think it was cold.
There was a basketball court in the property that was next to our old apartment building and there would be people out there until 2 or 3 in the morning and then again at 5:50am. The night time players were there about 50% of the time, but the morning players were there EVERY morning. I think they were practicing or something, but they'd get there at 5:50 and play until 6:43. They did this for the entire 3 months we lived there until the end of October. Even as fall was waning and winter approached they were out there, kind of like the child in your post. Annoying.
Someday, when he's a big NBA star and he's being interviewed, he'll say, "I'd like to thank my neighbor, Skippy, for putting up with my dribbling all those years."
I used to live somewhere where the neighbor kids did this. For HOURS. Ugh!
That's serious practice. It seems so cold for you guys. It's freezing here, but I think we're used to that.
Stay toasty!
