The world of Hoop District
Kiln City used to fire the bricks for half the coast. When the kilns closed, the neighborhoods painted their empty yards, rooftops and underpasses into basketball courts. Coach Ottie Vance started the District Circuit so kids had a reason to show up every night: win games on a court and your name goes up on its wall.
Four districts, four courts, four personalities: 3v3 at Kiln Yard, tight 2v2 inside The Cage on Pier Nine, showtime on the rooftop Skyline Court and moody 1v1 under the freeway at Under Nine. Stand on a pad and the game fills up — Pickup Bots jump in after 30 seconds, or right away when you hit START NOW.
Release your shot in the green, chain crossovers and step-backs, and build Heat until you’re On Fire. There are no gangs and no villains here. The only rivalry is whose name is on the wall.
Your first five minutes
Learn the moves
Coach Ottie runs you through three quick drills in his gym (a jumper, an ankle breaker and a steal), then a 1v1 to five.
Pick a court
Walk The Corner and stand on a court’s HOME or AWAY pad. Pickup Bots fill any empty spot.
Shoot in the green
Hold Shoot, then let go in the green band of the shot meter. The closer the defender, the smaller the green.
Catch fire
Buckets, assists, steals and blocks build Heat. Fill it and you’re On Fire, and your next dunk is your Signature Dunk in slow motion.
Fresh fits
Earn Street Cash and Rep after every game, then shop for kicks, threads, ball skins and new dunks at The Corner.
Why you’ll love it
Four themed courts
Kiln Yard’s mural bricks, The Cage on the docks, the rooftop Skyline Court and Under Nine’s rainy freeway underpass, each with its own format.
Contested shot meter
Release in the green to make it. A defender in your face shrinks the window, so getting open really matters.
Ankle breakers
Crossover, spin, step-back, behind-the-back and hesitation moves. Catch a defender leaning the wrong way and the game drops into slow motion: SHOOK!
Slow-motion dunks
Get On Fire and throw down your Signature Dunk under a dramatic dunk cam. On defense, time your jump to reject a dunk at the rim.
Alley-oops
Lob it to a teammate near the rim, or call for the oop and a bot teammate will throw it up for you.
Pickup Bots
No waiting around. Bots fill every empty slot and play at a skill level that matches the people on the court.
Ways to play
Pickup
3v3, 2v2 or 1v1 on the four city courts. Bots fill any empty spot, so a game always starts.
Training
Coach Ottie’s three drills and a 1v1 to five. The perfect first stop for new hoopers.
Practice
A 1v1 against a bot in Ottie’s Gym at Local, Block Star or City Legend level.

Straight from the game
Good questions
Can I play solo?
Yes. Pickup Bots fill every empty slot, so you can always get a full game, and Ottie’s Gym has a practice court.
How many players?
Courts run 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3, and a city server holds up to 30 players.
Is it free?
Yes. It’s free to play on Roblox, and optional purchases are cosmetic.
Does it work on phone or console?
It’s built for both, with a big SHOOT button, buttons that swap when you’re on defense and full controller support. We’re finishing tests on real devices before launch.
