What does the kit include?
The kit includes:
- a detection ring that is easy to install on all baskets available on the market (official models).

- an app available from the Apple store or Google play.
How does the hoop work?
The detection ring connects to your phone using Bluetooth via the "Decathlon Basketball Play" app. It offers a wide variety of challenges to play on your own or with others. You’ll also find game statistics and challenges to complete.
All the information is available by scanning the QR code on the product packaging.
What challenges come with the product?
Shoot out: Score as many points as possible in the allotted time.
Shoot training : Set yourself targets for your shoot training.
Free play: Play without restrictions and count your shots.
Time clash: Start your opponents’ stopwatches by scoring.
The bomb: Score to pass the ball to your opponents so that the bomb doesn’t explode in your hands!
The bank: Feed the bank by scoring, but don’t miss your shot or you will miss out on the loot!
What does the hoop measure?
For all size 5, 6 and 7 balls, the hoop will detect either:
- baskets made with a bounce off the hoop or the backboard,
- baskets made without bouncing off the hoop or backboard ("Swish"),
- baskets missed, if the ball touches the backboard or hoop.
It will not detect shots that don't touch the hoop or backboard ("airballs").
What phones can be used with "Decathlon Basketball Play"?
The "Decathlon Basketball Play" app is compatible with iOS 16 and later versions, as well as Android 10 and later.
The protective case works with all phones between 6 and 9 cm wide, and 10 to 18.5 cm tall. You can also use the kit without the case, but without guaranteed protection.
Is the kit easy to install?
The hoop fits easily onto all regulation size baskets. It attaches inside the net, using the existing hooks. The phone case attaches to the pole using its fastening strap. Your phone is secured using a side tightening wheel. You can also place the case next to the court, within 8 m of the hoop to ensure a Bluetooth connection.
What maintenance does this product require?
This product requires no particular maintenance. It can be cleaned with a wet cloth, and withstands extended exposure to weather. You will need to periodically replace the battery (ref. CR2032, included), depending on your use. If you aren’t using it during the colder months, we recommend storing the smart hoop indoors in a dry place.
