Basketball lovers can signup for free and after they create a profile, they can use the interactive map to quickly locate the activity of a basketball game.
The App was created by twin brothers Donte and Dominic Morris, who both have attended Sacramento State University.
The idea came out of the disappointment of not finding a place where people are playing pickup basketball.
