A free ballon every courtin NYC
No ball, no game. HouseBall is a movement to put a free basketball on every public court in the city — and you can see exactly how far we've gotten.
Watch the city fill up
A live map of NYC's public courts. Green balls are live, yellow are being deployed soon, and dashed ones are waiting on your vote and donation. Find a court where you can play now, vote for your court to be next, or flag missing balls on a live court for fast replacements.
Three moves, that's it
Spot the gap
Every hooper knows a court with backboards but no ball. We map them all — borough by borough, block by block.
Fund the ball
Donations buy tough outdoor rubber balls, pumps, and the crew that deploys them. $20 fills a hoop.
Play
We install a rack on the court, a set of brand new balls, and a pump so the community can start playing right away.
The rundown
Yes. Every ball we deploy is free to play with, forever. We're a nonprofit funded entirely by donations — no ads, no catch.
$20 puts a ball in the game
Chip in. Fill a court.
Every dollar goes to rubber, pumps, and boots on the blacktop. No court left hoop-less.
