Volley scores pickup basketball — the kind played on a half court at lunch, after work, or on a Sunday at the park. 1s and 2s, win by 2, race to whatever number you agreed on. Tap which side scored, Volley handles the rest. Full-court games and tournaments work the same way.
Scoring
How Volley scores basketball
-
1s and 2s scoring
Standard pickup scoring — buckets inside the arc are 1, beyond the arc is 2. Tap the side and the value, Volley adds it to the score.
-
Game to 11, 15, 16, or 21
Pick your target number up front. Win by 2 unless you toggle straight win on.
-
Win by 2
Default on. Volley keeps the game going until someone hits the target with a 2-point lead.
-
Full-court half-time
For longer full-court games Volley supports halves with a half-time break and a side switch.
-
1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5
Any pickup format. Volley tracks the team rosters and your rating climbs based on the team you played on.
