Pickup basketball in the UK, finally sorted. GotNext shows you which Basketball courts are live right now, so you stop guessing and stop texting the group chat. Open the app, see where the runs are, and pull up to a court that is actually busy. SEE WHAT IS LIVE The map glows where the hoopers are. Brighter and bigger means more people on court. One look tells you if a cage is popping or dead before you leave the house. CHECK IN IN TWO TAPS Tap a court, tap "Here now" or "On my way", done. Set when you are turning up and when you are heading off. Statuses cover it: here now, on my way, shooting around, want a run, game going. SEE WHO IS COMING Every court shows who is there now and who is on the way, with times. No more solo trips to an empty court. When a run is short, the "need 2 for full court" call goes up. HOLD YOUR COURT Form a crew, pick your element and crest, and your colour flies on every court you hold. One team per hooper, captain plus co-captain, join by code in seconds. Teams rank and hold courts off real check-ins, so nobody fakes it. CLIMB THE LADDER Win runs, hold courts, build a streak. The London ladder ranks every crew by wins, win rate, streak, and courts held. Both captains confirm the result, so a win is a win. WINNER STAYS ON Run a gauntlet on a hot court: survivor meets the next team, last crew standing takes it. Or set a clean knockout bracket. 3x3, 5v5, 1v1, and shootout. RUN IT AND FIND IT Put on your own run and let people sign up. No team? Raise your hand as an open player and get slotted in. Browse what is on across the city. BUILT ON SHOWING UP Turn up when you say you will and your reliability rep climbs. The quiet trust score for pickup. KNOW THE COURT Hoops, lights, indoor or outdoor, surface, and how busy it gets by time of day, there even when a court is quiet. Starting at three London courts packed all summer: Blue Cage, Turnpike Lane, and Clapham. More to come, picked deliberately. No chat. No noise. Just the runs.
