Pickup basketball stats
Track your pickup basketball stats with one phone
Record your run with one phone on a tripod. Hooper finds every shot and gives each player their own stats and highlight clips. No tapping. No stat keeper.
How it works
Four steps from the court to your stats.
- 01
Set up one phone
Put your phone on a tripod at half court or on the sideline, facing one basket. Turn it sideways.
- 02
Record the run
Hit record in the Hooper app and go play. Nobody has to keep stats or tap anything.
- 03
Upload
Hooper's AI watches the video, finds every shot, marks makes and misses, and cuts a clip of each one.
- 04
Tag your squad
Tag yourself and your friends in the game so every stat and clip lands on the right player.
What you get
Every player in the video gets their own stats and clips:
- Points for every player
- Field goals made and attempted, with FG%
- 3-pointers, once you tag the court corners in the app
- Free throws and FT%
- Rebounds and assists
- A box score once you set the two teams
- A shot chart that shows where every shot came from
- A highlight clip of every shot, makes and misses
- Mixtapes and leaderboards for your pickup group
Tips for filming pickup
- Center one basket. Film from half court or the sideline.
- Don't film from behind the basket or off to its side.
- Don't film from one end to try to fit both hoops in the frame.
- Get the phone at least 5 feet off the ground. A tripod makes this easy. Without one you lose the shot chart and the 2 vs 3 split.
- Keep the phone still. A fixed phone gets you the shot chart and 3-point detection.
- Record in landscape.
- Running full court? Use two phones, one on each half, then link the two sessions into one game.
- Start and stop recording between games so each game gets its own stats.
- Start with at least 80% battery and 10 GB of free storage.
Hooper vs tapping stats by hand
Most stat apps need someone on the sideline tapping every make, miss and rebound. In pickup, that person usually wants to play. Hooper watches the video instead, so everyone hoops and the stats still get kept.
| Hooper | Tapping by hand | |
|---|---|---|
| Who keeps the stats | Hooper's AI watches the video | Someone taps every play |
| Can everyone play? | Yes | Usually one person sits out |
| Highlights | A clip of every shot | None, unless someone also films and edits |
| Fixing mistakes | Rewatch the clip and fix it in the app | Hard to check after the run |
| When stats are ready | After the video processes | Right away |
Film your next run
Download Hooper, set up your phone and play. Your stats and clips show up in the app after the video processes.
Pickup stats FAQ
Is there an app that tracks pickup basketball stats automatically?
Yes. Hooper tracks stats from a video of your run. Record with one phone, upload it, and Hooper's AI finds every shot and splits the stats by player. Nobody has to tap anything during the game.
Do players need jerseys?
No. Hooper finds every player in the video. After it processes, you tag yourself and your friends so stats land on the right person. If your team wears numbered jerseys and saves a roster, Hooper can read the numbers and tag players for you.
Does it track rebounds and assists?
Yes. Along with points, field goals, 3-pointers and free throws, Hooper credits rebounds and assists. If one lands on the wrong player, you can reassign it in the app. Hooper does not track steals, blocks or turnovers right now.
Is Hooper free?
Yes, there is a free plan with 2 hours of footage a month. Pro is $11.99 a month with 10 hours, plus clip filters, unlimited saved clips and group stats. You can buy extra hours if you need more.
How long can a run be?
Each upload can be up to 75 minutes. If you record longer, trim it in the app before you upload, or start a new recording for each game.
Can I share my highlights?
Yes. Every shot gets its own vertical clip, ready for your story or the group chat. Share or download clips right from the app and add your best ones to a mixtape. The free plan saves up to 5 clips. Pro saves unlimited.
Do my friends need the app?
Only to see their own stats and clips. Tag them in the game and send them the invite link. It adds the games they are tagged in to their Hooper account.
