Good to know

A hoop in the schoolyard, a cage in the park, a full court with two baskets: over 105,000 basketball courts are on the map, most of them open to everyone, no sign-up needed. One hoop is enough for 3-on-3. For full court you need two.

Where someone has already added it, the app shows how many hoops there are, whether there’s a net and whether the lights come on at night. Above all, you see whether anyone is checked in right now. Open a lobby, show the open spots, and keep the live score together.
