FINDING A GAME
SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD

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.

  • Texting 12 people just to get 10 at the court
  • Not knowing if courts are busy or free
  • Randoms showing up way above or below your level
  • Moving to a new city and knowing nobody who plays

How it works

THREE STEPS TO
YOUR NEXT GAME

01

Find a court

Every outdoor court, school gym, and rec centre in NZ mapped and rated. See what's near you in seconds.

02

Join or post a game

Browse upcoming runs near you and claim a spot, or post your own game and fill it with one tap. No group chat chaos.

03

Play with your people

Player profiles and skill ratings mean you always know who's showing up — and that they're at your level.

Features

EVERYTHING YOUR
GAME NEEDS

Court map

Every court in NZ pinned, with surface type, lighting, and real-time busyness from other players.

Pickup game board

Post a game, set your spots and skill level, and watch it fill up. In-app payments handle the entry fee.

Player reputation system

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.
