Hoops Hub finds courts near you, connects you with local players, and fills pickup games — all in one place.
Launching in Christchurch first. No spam, ever.
Basketball is booming in New Zealand — courts are full, leagues are capped, and demand is through the roof. But organising a pickup game still means group chats, no-shows, and not knowing if the randoms turning up can even play.
Every outdoor court, school gym, and rec centre in NZ mapped and rated. See what's near you in seconds.
Browse upcoming runs near you and claim a spot, or post your own game and fill it with one tap. No group chat chaos.
Player profiles and skill ratings mean you always know who's showing up — and that they're at your level.
Every court in NZ pinned, with surface type, lighting, and real-time busyness from other players.
Post a game, set your spots and skill level, and watch it fill up. In-app payments handle the entry fee.
After every game, players rate each other on punctuality, sportsmanship, and skill level. Build your rep, know who you're playing with before you show up.
Filter games by level — beginner, intermediate, or comp. No more showing up and ruining someone's run.
Get pinged when a game opens up near you, when your spot is confirmed, or when a regular run is posted.
Download Hoops Hub, create a free account, and you'll instantly see upcoming pickup games near you sorted by distance and skill level. Tap any game to see who's playing and claim a spot.
Yes — browsing courts and games is completely free. Some games have a small entry fee set by the organiser (usually $5), which you pay through the app. We take a small cut so the organiser doesn't have to chase cash.
We're launching in Christchurch first with full court data from the CCC. Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton, and Dunedin will follow shortly after launch. More cities coming as the community grows.
Tap "Post game", pick a court from the map, set your date, time, skill level, and max players. Your game goes live instantly and players nearby get a notification. You're automatically added as the first confirmed player.
After every game, players rate each other on punctuality, sportsmanship, skill accuracy, and how fun they were to play with. Ratings are visible on your profile so organisers know what to expect — and so do you before you join a game.
Pickup Groups are recurring communities around a regular game — like "Saturday Morning Crew at Cowles Stadium". Join a group and get automatically notified whenever a game is posted. Perfect if you play with the same crew every week.
We're building Hoops Hub right now. Drop your email and we'll let you know the moment we launch in Christchurch.
