The huupe ARENA is a full-size, pro-glass, in-ground smart hoop that coaches every shot, keeps score like a scoreboard, and lights up every make. Half performance lab, half stadium — planted in your backyard.

You didn't picture raising a kid whose jump shot lives in a video game. Here's the scouting report on the problem.
You say "go shoot around." They hear "boring." The game they can't put down has levels, stats and leaderboards. The driveway hoop has... a net.
Practice at 8, open gym across town at 11, someone's tournament at 2. You're a shuttle service with a mortgage.
Your kid's whole social life happens at somebody else's place. Home should have the gravity — not the neighbor's basement.
$100/hr trainers, camps, leagues, travel fees. You're bankrolling a development program and outsourcing all the fun parts.
The trampoline. The kayaks. The weight bench you swore you'd both use. Big purchases keep retiring to the garage by February.
Even when they do shoot, it's a thousand shots into the void. No data, no direction, no way to know if any of it's working.
Pro-arena tempered glass. Professional perimeter LEDs. A smart sensor that tracks every single shot — location, arc, release, form — with zero setup. No phone on the court. No buttons. They shoot, it works.
It's the first hoop with the same addictive loop as their video games — points, streaks, rankings — except every level-up is real. Installed once. Built for a decade of seasons.
Put a glowing, pro-glass arena in the yard and watch what happens. Word spreads at school by Tuesday. By Saturday, you're hosting the neighborhood.
your yard. every afternoon now.
A light-up arena with leaderboards is something no other house has. Your yard becomes the default court — automatically.
The whole crew, thirty feet from your back door. Best surveillance system ever built: a hoop they don't want to leave.
Their circle runs through your yard now. You'll learn who's got handles, who talks trash, and who eats everything in your fridge.
The LEDs keep it going into the night. Some of the best memories of their childhood are going to happen under those lights.
Everything a $100/hr trainer, a scorekeeper and a league commissioner would do — running 24/7 in your backyard.
huupe's AI reads every shot — arc, release, form — and shows them exactly what to fix in the app. Pro-lab feedback on every single rep.
a $100/hr trainer who never cancelsEvery make and miss logged automatically. "I was fouled" is still up for debate — the score isn't. It's on the board.
no more creative mathFG%, hot zones, streaks, shot charts — the same numbers an NBA staff tracks, saved to the app on their own.
you'll check it at your desk. admit it.Professional perimeter LEDs erupt green on every make. Every bucket feels like a game-winner under the lights.
every night is a home gameBuilt-in challenges and real-time games against players worldwide. There's always a matchup, a ranking, a reason to play.
boredom got cut from the rosterThe board lights the rim after sundown, so the work doesn't stop when the sun clocks out.
last shot always wins one moreThere's no tablet on the court. The smart sensor starts tracking the second the first shot goes up — no phone, no setup, no buttons. The app is for afterwards: stats, film-room breakdowns, leaderboards.
It runs the exact loop that makes their video games addictive — points, streaks, rankings — except this one builds a jump shot instead of a screen-time report.
This is not the wobbly big-box hoop you grew up apologizing for. It's gym-spec hardware engineered to outlast their whole basketball career.
Industrial rust-resistant steel anchored permanently in the ground. No water base, no wobble, no tipping. It doesn't move — for dunks, storms or decades.
The same tempered glass as a college arena, with a true pro bounce off the board. Not the flexy acrylic that rattles on every bank shot.
Spring-loaded and built for hang-on-the-rim abuse. It takes the dunk contest phase in stride and protects the glass while it's at it.
Sealed electronics rated to live outside permanently. Rain, snow, sprinklers, August heat — it keeps tracking. No cover, no babysitting.
Crank it down for the 8-year-old, up to regulation for varsity. One hoop covers third grade through their college send-off.
A one-time in-ground install by a local pro and it's part of the property. No assembly Saturday, no re-leveling, no regrets.
You can spend almost this much on a very nice hoop that does absolutely nothing. Run the comparison yourself.

First game starts before the console even boots. The daily challenge is posted and somebody's rank is on the line.
Your "quick game to 11" is now a two-hour tournament. Losers rake the leaves. The hoop confirms you won — finally, proof.
They're thirty feet away, not three houses down. Attendance: perfect, slightly sweaty, arguing about a buzzer-beater.
LEDs on, crickets out. You've still got the fadeaway (kind of). These are the nights they'll tell their own kids about.
One year of "developing their game" the old way costs more than the hoop that does it every single day — for every kid in the house, plus the neighbors', for a decade.
With 0% APR from about $330/month with Affirm, it's less per month than a couple of training sessions. Except this coach shows up every day, forever.
one purchase. ten seasons. every kid on the block. →"Bought it for my son. I'm out there at 6am before work with a coffee on the retaining wall, chasing my own free-throw streak. Nobody tells you the app keeps YOUR stats too."
"I priced out a court and a 'premium' hoop first. Same glass, same steel, few hundred less — and it just stands there. This one runs games, keeps score and coaches him. Easiest spec comparison I've ever done."
"My daughter made varsity as a freshman. Her coach asked what changed over the summer. About nine thousand tracked shots in the backyard, that's what changed."
"We cut the $120-a-session trainer in October. He gets more shots up in a week than he got in a month of lessons, and the form feedback is the same stuff we were paying for. Not close."
"The score is on the board now, so my boys can't argue about it. Twenty years of sibling litigation, settled by a backboard. Should've cost more."
"My wife thought I'd lost my mind at the price. Now she's the one texting her sister screenshots of his shooting streak. It's 9pm and there are six kids under the lights in my yard. Best thing I've ever put in the ground."

Then it's dorm rooms, jobs, and a group text. The ARENA can't stop the clock — but it can make your yard the place they and their whole crew want to be while it's running.
Every rep on the board. Every game under the lights. You, courtside for all of it.

That's what it's built for. The breakaway rim is spring-loaded to absorb hang-time abuse, the backboard is 3/8" tempered glass like a college gym, and the whole system is anchored on in-ground industrial steel. Breakage rate is under 1%, and original units are still going strong after 5+ years.
Yes — 3/8" tempered ClearView glass with a true pro bounce off the board, not acrylic. The 72" gives you regulation-width presence; the 60" is the same glass in a tighter footprint. Both play like the real thing.
No. The smart sensor tracks every shot automatically the moment play starts — no phone on the court, no setup, no buttons. The app is for afterwards: stats, AI form breakdowns, and the leaderboards.
Yes. The electronics carry an IP65 weatherproof rating and the structure is rust-resistant steel with tempered glass. Rain, snow, sprinklers, heat waves — no cover needed, no off-season.
The hoop ships free in 7–14 days, and you arrange a one-time in-ground install with a local installer of your choice — recommended for a system this size. The smart sensor system follows separately (8–16 weeks after the hoop arrives, as production scales). After that, it's a permanent part of the property.
You can pay over time with Affirm — from about $330/month for qualified buyers at 0% APR. Final pricing and terms are shown at checkout on huupe.com.
The 72" is regulation width with the heaviest-duty build — the closest thing to a gym backboard at home, if you've got the space. The 60" delivers the same glass, tracking and LED tech in a footprint that fits tighter driveways. Both are full-size and in-ground.
No — core shot tracking, charts and stats work out of the box. huupe+ is an optional upgrade that adds extra cloud storage, advanced analytics, global connectivity and prize challenges. You can add it anytime later on huupe.com.
Every great player got made somewhere — a driveway, a backyard, a rim that was always on. Build that place at your house, and be there for every shot of it.
