What Is Hoop Phoenix?
Hoop Phoenix is an arcade basketball trailer equipped with four side-by-side basketball arcade stations — the same kind you’d find in a sports bar or arcade. The trailer is mobile, climate-aware, and designed to roll right into your driveway, backyard, or event space.
We handle delivery, setup, and breakdown. You handle the fun.
Unlike bounce houses (which mainly entertain kids) or DJs (which require the right crowd), Hoop Phoenix appeals to everyone — kids, teens, parents, coworkers, and even grandparents.

Why Hoop Phoenix Is Perfect for Mid-Summer Parties
🎂 Birthday Parties That Stand Out
Mid-summer birthdays can be tricky — kids are out of school, families are on vacation, and parents have already seen the same old bounce houses and water slides. Hoop Phoenix solves that problem with an unexpected, exciting experience.
Kids can compete against their friends
Teens and adults jump in to show off their skills
Parents enjoy watching the action — and often join in too
It’s entertainment that keeps the energy high without leaving anyone out.
👨👩👧👦 Family Reunions with a Twist
Phoenix families often gather in July for reunions before school resumes. Hoop Phoenix brings relatives of all ages together for a fun, friendly activity that sparks laughter and bonding. It’s perfect for backyard reunions, community centers, or even at a park with space for the trailer.
🍔 BBQs & Block Parties
Summer in the Valley means BBQ season — and while food is always the star, entertainment is what keeps guests around longer. Hoop Phoenix pairs perfectly with outdoor cooking, lawn games, and ice-cold drinks.
🏫 Schools, Churches, & Camps
Even in July, Phoenix schools and churches host summer camps, festivals, and community days. Hoop Phoenix gives kids and parents an activity that’s active, social, and screen-free — all while supporting community connection.
Hoop Phoenix vs. Other Summer Rentals
Choosing the right rental for your event can be overwhelming. Let’s compare:
Bounce Houses → Great for little kids, but limited appeal for older guests
Water Slides → Fun, but messy and weather-dependent
Karaoke or DJs → Require outgoing participants; not everyone joins
Video Game Trucks → Indoors, sedentary, and less social
✅ Hoop Phoenix → Active, competitive, fun for all ages, and creates an experience people talk about long after the party ends

At a reunion with more than 60 relatives, Hoop Phoenix was the activity that got everyone involved. From cousins in their 20s to grandparents in their 70s, everyone took a turn. It became the highlight of the gathering.

Hoop Phoenix was used to draw in families for a July church carnival. Kids lined up to play, parents stuck around longer, and the church reported higher attendance than in previous years.
