What is hoop?

Hoop is a game where people try to get a ball through a ring.

Imagine you're playing with your friends outside, one of them throws a round ball toward a big circle that's hanging on a pole or a tree. If the ball goes through the circle, the person who threw it gets a point! It’s like trying to throw a ball into a net, but instead of a net, there’s a ring.

How you play hoop

  1. You take turns throwing the ball.
  2. The goal is for the ball to go through the ring.
  3. If it does, you get a point, if not, no problem, just try again!

It's like when you throw a sock into a basket during cleanup, except here, it’s a ball and a ring, and it’s fun to play with friends.

Hoop is simple, fast, and can be played anywhere, on the street, in the park, or even in your backyard!
