HoopBreak - Find Pickup Games

Chill, take a break from your work, and play some pickup basketball! Whether you are a competitive hooper who wants to play intense, organized pickup games to improve your skills or a casual who is looking to have fun and meet new ballers in your area, Hoop Break has something for you. As hoopers, we can all relate to that gut-wrenching, hopeless feeling when it is a sunny day outside (perfect for some pickup basketball), but all or most of our friends are busy. Other times, there are too many people who want to ball without enough prior planning, leading to frustration and disagreements on the court.

Hoopbreak offers a promising solution to both problems. It is the most intuitive and responsive organizing tool out there for planning out pickup games on nearby courts and even enables you to meet new basketball players, so you can extend your hooping circle. In an age where the media, political and religious forces, and other institutions end up dividing us, Hoop Break intends to do the exact opposite. Our goal is not only to allow users to easily join and schedule games, but to also help them forge meaningful relationships and learn life skills through pickup basketball.

PLEASE NOTE! Hoop Break is free to download and play right now, but we are quickly moving towards a premium version in an effort to monetize the app and provide access to better functionality such as a built-in Instagram-style direct messaging platform to further your relationships with other hoopers on-and-off the court, automatic team optimization based on skillset and position, and an advanced Hoop Break leaderboards/ranking system to identify the best teams on the platform.
