About

WHAT IS HOOP CITY?

Hoop City is a structured basketball league created to deliver competitive, fair, and well-run games in a consistent weekly format. Every aspect of the league, from team selection to scheduling, is intentional to create strong competition and an enjoyable experience for all players.

What sets Hoop City apart:

  • Organized weekly games with referees and scorekeeping

  • Balanced teams through a draft-based format

If you’re looking to take the next step up from your weekly run or want consistent, competitive games in an organized setting, Hoop City was built for you.

Logistics

LEAGUE FORMAT & STRUCTURE

  • 6-week season

  • 8 teams split into 2 conferences

  • Draft-style team selection

  • Weekly games on a set night

  • Regular season + playoffs

  • Standings, seeding, and championship final

Games are played in a controlled, officiated environment to ensure consistency, fairness, and a strong pace of play throughout the season.

Why a 6-Week Season?
Hoop City is structured around a 6-week season to keep the league fast-paced, engaging, and commitment-friendly. Shorter seasons help maintain high attendance, competitive intensity, and player energy, while avoiding burnout or mid-season drop-off.

This format also allows for multiple seasons throughout the year, creating fresh drafts, new competition, and consistently high-quality basketball.

LOCATION & TIMING

  • Location: Brampton (gym location TBD)

  • Game Night: Friday or Saturday

  • Tentative Start Date: March 27

  • Season Length: 6 weeks (regular season + playoffs)

Final scheduling details will be confirmed once pre-registration closes and gym bookings are secured. Players will receive full season details prior to official registration and payment.

Draft

WHY A DRAFT?

Hoop City uses a draft-based format to ensure the league stays competitive, balanced, and engaging from Week 1 through the playoffs.

  • Balanced competition: Drafted teams prevent stacking and help ensure closer, more competitive games.

  • Better game quality: When teams are evenly matched, intensity stays high, and every possession matters.

  • League-wide parity: No dominant super-teams — every team has a chance to compete.

  • Bragging rights: You’ll still compete against friends and familiar faces, with standings and playoffs adding real stakes to every matchup.

The result is a league where players are challenged, engaged, and invested week after week.

CAPTAINS & DRAFT SHOWCASE

Prior to Week 1, the league will host a Draft Showcase, allowing players to scrimmage and showcase their skills.

  • Any player may opt in to be a team captain during registration

  • Selected captains will be contacted directly prior to the draft

  • Captains will draft their teams following the showcase

  • Each team consists of one captain and drafted players

This process ensures transparency, fairness, and competitive balance across the league.

Community
