💘🏀 Hoops of Love: A Valentine’s Day Couple’s Competition 🏀💘
No basketball experience needed—just a willingness to have a great time!
Celebrate love, laughter, and a little friendly competition at Hoops of Love, our special Valentine’s Day basketball event! Whether you and your partner are seasoned ballers or just in it for the fun, this event is designed for all skill levels.
Couples will take on four Love & Basketball challenges, each testing key elements of both the game and relationships—Communication, Resilience, Teamwork, and Trust.
Some events will be scored by points, while others will be a race against the clock, all leading to an overall team ranking. But there’s a twist—before each game, teams will roll the dice for a chance at fun modifiers that could give you an advantage or add a playful challenge!
🎁 Prizes & Fun Extras:
🏆 Top 3 couples will win prizes like trophies and gift certificates to local restaurants.
📸 Photo Booth to capture your best moments together.
💖 A unique Valentine’s experience filled with excitement, laughter, and teamwork.
So, grab your spouse, fiancé, or a family member and join us for a fun-filled night where love takes the shot!
Games:
- Free Throw Frenzy:
Each partner must alternate taking free-throw shots. You get 2mins to make as many free throws as possible. Scoring: 1 point per basket. Combine both partners’ scores for the couple’s total. An airball will result in a loss of 3 points.
- XOXO Hot Shot Challenge:
Couples have 90 seconds to score as many points from the point specific spots on the court. Couples must take turns shooting and cannot shoot from the same spot twice in a row.
- Love is a Battlefield:
Partners must work with each other to get across the minefield. One partner is blind folded and will be the one to enter the mind field. The other partner must stand on the side of the field and direct their partner through the field. Goal: Guide your partner through the field to grab three of the mini basketballs and place them in the bucket at the other end, without hitting and mines. If you hit, you must place the mini ball down and return to the starting end of the field. The couple with the fastest time takes the top spot.
- Don’t Fumble My Heart Passing Challenge:
Couples stand 15 feet apart. Each partner alternates chest passes using a basketball (Green slip ball we have).
The goal is to complete as many successful passes in 1 minute as possible.
Twist: If the ball drops, 5 points are subtracted from their time.
Scoring: 1 point per successful pass. 5 bonus points for completing 50+ passes in the minute.
- You set my Heart aBlaze:
While dribbling a basketball, couples have 1min to tag as many red lights as possible.
Cupid’s Roll: For each game you will have an opportunity to roll for a chance to modify the game. This could help or put your team at a disadvantage. Your choice if you want to leave it up to chance.
