Any excuse for a good time.
A guaranteed crowd at any event.
Dual-lane hoops bring out everyone's competitive side. It's a favourite at kids' and adult birthday parties, high-energy at school fetes and fundraisers, and an ice-breaker that gets even the quiet ones up at corporate events and team days.
Sports clubs, gym openings and product launches use it as branded, on-theme entertainment, and it's a staple at 18ths, 21sts and bucks and hens nights. Book two machines for head-to-head tournaments that keep a queue going all night.
Wrap it in your brand.
A wrapped basketball machine is a natural fit for sports brands, gym launches and corporate family days. Unlike most hire companies who outsource it, we design and print every wrap in-house, faster turnarounds and a sharper finish.
Brand the backboard and cabinet in your colours, logo or event theme. Custom wraps are quoted with your booking.
