Bankshot™ is a game of skill and challenge that is often described as
"mini golf, but with a basketball."
Players of all ages and abilities proceed through a course of angled, curved and non-conventionally configured brightly colored backboards, banking shots off the Bankboards™ and through the rims.
We believe in providing equal opportunities for play and ensuring that everyone can fully enjoy the Bankshot experience.
A Bankshot™ course consists of a varying number of stations depending upon the size of the Playcourt. Each station has a uniquely shaped Bankboard™.
Each Bankshot™ requires a different banked shot to score. As you play through the Playcourt, you progress from easier stations to more challenging ones. The fun of Bankshot is figuring out exactly how to bank and bounce the ball off the Bankboard to make your shot.
Colored shapes mark the shooting spots at each station. You try two shots from each position to make a basket. If the first try is successful, move on to the next shooting position. Bankshot Playcourts are a welcoming space that promote social interaction, imagination, and fun for people of all abilities.
Bankshot™ Sports offers numerous layout options to fit your budget, space, parks, and community.

Bankshot Playcourts are simple to install: the structural steel poles are embedded or bolted into the surface of the Playcourt. Bankshot Bankboards™ are equipped with sleeves for 3x3 inch steel structural tubing. The boards slide down the poles in their sleeves. Three shooting positions are marked off at each station and the shooting positions for the Playcourt floor are painted in bright colors to make the court visually appealing for all players. Instructional signage is provided for each station.
A Bankshot™ Playcourt was designed around a foundation of accessibility and inclusivity. Our motto is: Everyone Plays! We will work with you to ensure that a Bankshot Playcourt meets the needs of your unique community.
Bankshot Bankboards™ are made of fiberglass and are incredibly durable. Maintenance consists of painting the shooting positions on the floor approximately every 3 years and changing the nets when needed. Even if durable, participants should be cautioned not to hang on the rims. Safety signage is provided.
