Pickup basketball,
without the hassle.
Find your next run from HaYarkon Park to the neighborhood courts, organize your squad, track who actually shows up, and build your basketball reputation — all free.
Basketball runs deep here — Maccabi Tel Aviv's six EuroLeague titles make it one of the sport's real global powers, and the Israeli Premier League has sent players like Omri Casspi and Dragan Bender to the NBA. HaYarkon Park's courts stay lit and busy well into the evening, and Tel Aviv's climate means the outdoor season barely ends.
The pickup problem
"Need 2 more for tonight"
You're texting three different WhatsApp groups trying to fill a run at HaYarkon before the courts fill up. Half the people left on read. Game time is in two hours.
Flakes kill the run
Someone says they're pulling up, then ghosts. Now you're running 4v5, and nobody's having fun.
Finding good runs is hard
HaYarkon, Gan Meir, Bnei Dan, BavliPark — Tel Aviv has courts all over the city, but knowing which one has a real run tonight versus an empty half-court takes local knowledge you don't have yet.
Same people, stale games
Your regular group never changes. You want competitive games with new faces, but there's no way to connect.
