Whether you’re here for the competition, the grind, or the glory, we’ve got the answers to keep you moving down the Drive Map.
What is Summer Drive?
Think of it as your summer road trip, but with basketball. Summer Drive is a limited-time event (August 26th - September 16th) where you’ll:

Play in two new themed modes, Par FORE the Court and Full Court Shootout

New Game Modes: Fresh Ways to Play
Par FORE the Court
Basketball meets golf in this one-of-a-kind challenge. Each “hole” is a scoring challenge – stay under par to keep your momentum going and unlock new courts. Just like golf… if golf had dunks.
