Pickup basketball,
without the hassle.
Find runs from Pigalle to Belleville, organize your squad, track who actually shows up, and build your basketball reputation — all free.
Paris's streetball scene has real landmarks — Duperré in Pigalle, the Nike-repainted court where LeBron James once pulled up for a pickup run, plus Jemmapes and Stalingrad further east. The courts were never the problem; knowing who's actually playing, and when, is.
The pickup problem
"Need 2 more for tonight"
You're texting three different group chats trying to fill a 5v5 before the court at Stalingrad clears out. Half the people left on read.
Flakes kill the run
Someone says they're pulling up to Léo Lagrange, then ghosts. Now you're running 4v5, and nobody's having fun.
Finding good runs is hard
You know Duperré or Jemmapes has runs most evenings, but a court two arrondissements over might as well not exist without an invite.
Same people, stale games
Your regular group never changes. You want competitive games with new faces, but there's no way to connect.
