Welcome to Hoop Oakland: A New Chapter in Michigan Hoops
When you think of basketball in Michigan, what comes to mind? For some, it’s the legendary college rivalries, the history of the Pistons, or the countless high school gyms where communities come alive on Friday nights. But now, there’s something brand-new lighting up the courts in Oakland County: Hoop Oakland.
This isn’t just another sports program — it’s a movement. Hoop Oakland brings a one-of-a-kind basketball experience to the community, combining the excitement of fast-paced arcade basketball with the atmosphere of a live event. Whether you’re planning a birthday party, a school fundraiser, a corporate outing, or simply looking for an unforgettable activity to bring people together, Hoop Oakland is here to redefine how basketball is enjoyed in Michigan.

The Rise of Mobile Basketball Entertainment
Basketball has always been about more than the game itself. It’s about connection, competition, and community. Hoop Oakland taps into this spirit by bringing basketball straight to the people.
Instead of needing to go to a stadium or gym, the basketball comes to you. The Hoop Oakland trailer is a fully customized mobile arcade filled with four professional-grade basketball shooting games inside a 16-foot trailer. It’s climate-controlled, decked out with LED lights, a premium sound system, and plenty of energy to turn any occasion into a party.
Think of it as a cross between a basketball gym, an arcade, and a block-party attraction. Kids love it. Adults love it. Companies book it. Schools use it to fundraise. And every time it shows up, people line up to play.
Why Oakland, Michigan?

The trailer is built for people to step in, play a game, and step out smiling. Kids giggle when they beat their parents. Adults relive arcade memories. And crowds gather to cheer on the action.

The Bigger Picture: Hoop Trailer Across the Country

In just over a year, Hoop Trailer has expanded from its first location in San Diego to over 50+ territories across the U.S. (including Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, Boston, Atlanta, and now Oakland, Michigan). Each city has its own locally-operated trailer, but all share the same brand standards, quality, and mission.
