Bring your crew for a night of fun, community, and basketball at Raleigh Hoop Nights!
The City of Raleigh and the Raleigh Police Department invite youth to compete in friendly basketball games alongside Raleigh police officers and public safety partners. The events in the summer-long series take place on Friday nights at community centers throughout Raleigh. Raleigh Hoop Nights are free and open to teens aged 13 to 18.
Raleigh Hoop Nights supports one of Raleigh Police Chief Rico Boyce's strategic priorities: community engagement. The program helps build positive relationships between youth and officers while creating safe, welcoming spaces for recreation and mentorship.
"Raleigh Hoop Nights is about more than basketball," said Chief Rico Boyce. "It's an opportunity for young people to connect with officers in their neighborhoods, build trust, and have fun in a positive environment."
You’re encouraged to register for the events. (Walk-ins are also welcome!)
Bring your friends, lace up your sneakers, and join us on the court!
