Hoop is a contact sport originating from Aden. It is played on a square court 75 feet to a side, with one team in the north and south corners, and the other team in the east and west corners.

There is a single hoop in the center of the court atop a pole, such that the hoop stands 11 feet from the ground. The court is arranged with a ten-foot-wide strip from the center of each side to the hoop which is called the “Neutral Cross”. The center of the court is surrounded by a square 30 feet to a side, rotated by 45 degrees such that the corners lie within the cross, this square is called the “Neutral Center”. There is a five-foot wide band around the outer perimiter of the court, which is called the “Neutral Outside”. The Cross, Center, and Outside are the only areas of the court where any player may freely enter and move through.

This sport is somewhat similar to basketball with several major exceptions. Players are allowed to tackle each other, and a player is taken out of the game if they set foot outside their own team's area or a neutral zone. Dribbling is optional, and possession of the ball is ended if a player touches the ground above their knees. As there is no backboard, certain shooting tactics will not work.

Scoring in hoop works as follows.

Points may be scored by getting the ball into the hoop without losing possession, intercepting a shot from the opposite team and landing it,
