hoops.love is league management software built for recreational basketball leagues. Its core goal is to free league organizers from spreadsheets, group chats, and manual scheduling. It covers common workflows such as league creation, team registration, payments, schedules, scores, standings, notifications, and rescheduling, making it suitable for venues, community sports departments, bar leagues, and individual league managers.
The product flow is fairly clear: organizers create a league and enter the format, venues, and time preferences; teams register and pay on their own via a registration link or QR code; hoops.love creates the schedule based on the league details, which organizers can review and adjust; during the season, players or captains can self-report scores, and the system automatically updates standings, playoff matchups, and more. It also supports automatic reminders for missing scores, real-time notifications such as weather delays, game cancellations and rescheduling, plus Google Calendar and Apple Calendar sync. The copy indicates that captains and players can participate in registration, view schedules, and report scores, but it does not disclose more detailed role permissions, approval workflows, or multi-admin capabilities.
Pricing is a one-time payment based on league size: $149 for up to 10 teams, $299 for 11β20 teams, and $599 for 21+ teams. All plans include the same features and 24-hour email support. The official site emphasizes no hidden fees, no subscription, and no payment required before the league starts; venues running more than 10 leagues can contact the team for venue pricing. We did not see a free plan or clearly stated free trial.
The main strengths are its vertical focus and comprehensive feature coverage, especially for reducing repetitive work around registration, scheduling, score tracking, and notifications. The one-time payment model may also be easier for small leagues to accept than an ongoing subscription. The drawbacks are the lack of enterprise-level information: there is no clear disclosure around data security compliance, payment gateways, APIs, developer documentation, self-hosting, or permission models. The wording that schedules are βcuratedβ by the platform team also suggests that the boundaries of automation and configurability need to be confirmed through a trial. In addition, the founder notes that this is a one-person operation, which may mean flexible responses, but larger organizations should evaluate continuity of service.
hoops.love is better suited to North American-style recreational basketball leagues, sports venues, or small event operators. It is less suitable for organizations that need complex membership systems, deep financial integrations, or local compliance deployments. Its accessibility from China is unknown, and the payment methods are not clear on whether Chinese bank cards or local payment options are supported. For deployment in China, alternatives to compare include TeamSnap, LeagueApps, and SportsEngine; a combined setup using Jinshuju/Wenjuanxing for registration, WeCom for notifications, and spreadsheet/mini-program scheduling tools could also serve as a substitute.
