Why License to Ball

Pickup lives in
the group chat.

Where's the run tonight? Who's coming? Is the court even worth the drive? Right now the answers are scattered across group chats, stories, and word of mouth. License to Ball puts the run, the court, and your people in one app.

Where's the run?

Explore maps the courts near you and the runs going up. Nothing on tonight? Host a run and let people find it.

Who hoops around here?

Every court has its own feed. Follow the people you run with, post the clips, and slide into DMs when the run needs one more.

Why keep showing up?

Check-ins earn REP. Stack enough and take the crown as King of the Court. Put in work on the shot tracker, and play Hoop Clash anywhere.

Real runs. Real REP.

Check-ins are GPS-verified: you have to be at the court, within about 150 meters, to earn REP. So the King of the Court is someone who actually plays there. And on days you check in or train, Heat Check unlocks in Hoop Clash. Hooping in real life powers up the game.

    FAQ

    Questions before
    tip-off.

    What is License to Ball?

    A social app for people who hoop. Find courts and runs near you, check in, follow your people, track your shots, and play Hoop Clash, a 3v3 card game with 52 clay Hoopstars.

    Is it free?

    Yes, the beta is free. Hoopstar packs and the Drop Shop use VC, a coin you earn in the app, and there's no real-money shop in the beta.

    Is it on Android?

    Not yet. The beta is iPhone-only, through TestFlight.

    When does License to Ball launch?

    No date yet. Join the waitlist and you'll hear first.

    How do I get into the beta?

    Join the waitlist with your name and email. Invites go out by email in small waves. When yours lands, install TestFlight and accept it. Full steps here.

    Does License to Ball track my location?

    Only while you're using the app, never in the background. Location shows courts near you, drops the pin when you add a court, and confirms you're at the court when you check in (within about 150 meters). When you check in, we save which court and when. More in the privacy policy.

    Do I have to be good at basketball?

    No. License to Ball is for anyone who hoops, from first runs to league regulars. Hoop Clash is a card game you can play anywhere, and Train is just you, a hoop, and a shot chart.

    How do I get Hoopstars?

    Every new player pulls 3 to start. More come from packs you open with VC you earn by playing, and from wild Hoopstars you can catch at courts after you check in. Pack odds are shown in the app.

    How do I report a bug?

    In TestFlight, take a screenshot and tap Share Beta Feedback. Or leave a comment on this page.

    Will my beta progress carry over to launch?

    We'll say clearly before launch.

    My beta build expired. What now?

    TestFlight builds expire after 90 days. Open TestFlight and install the newest License to Ball build.

    How do I delete my account?

    Email osiasfayani@gmail.com and we'll delete your account and its data.
