Which one fits

Hardware, for a fixed court and official games

A hardware shot clock is bright, mounted above each basket and needs no laptop, screen or internet. Official competitions often set rules for the shot clock equipment. If your hall plays sanctioned matches every week, that is what you need.

An online scoreboard, for a full scoreboard on many courts

Online scoreboards run score, game clock and shot clock in the browser, with boards for several courts or sports. A free plan exists; more boards, logos and colours are on a monthly or yearly plan.

An app, for two devices next to each other

Phone and tablet apps work without internet, over the local network or Bluetooth. Both devices need to be close and, for most apps, on the same network or the same platform.

Shot Clock, for practice and games on any screen

Shot Clock makes the shot clock itself the product. It is free without an account, runs on any browser, and the phone can stay on mobile data while the screen uses the gym Wi-Fi. Presets for basketball, korfball, 3x3, water polo and lacrosse. Pro adds the scoreboard, drill mode and your club on the screen for €12 once. Open the clock and try it.

Questions

What is the cheapest way to get a shot clock in the gym?

Use a screen you already have. A laptop, TV or tablet with a browser runs a free web app, such as Shot Clock or the free plan of an online scoreboard, and a phone is the remote. Hardware costs from about $158 for one budget LED clock on a marketplace, and from about $1,250 for a wireless set from a sports retailer (checked 14 November 2026).

Can I use an online shot clock in an official game?

That depends on your league or federation. Many competitions require fixed shot clocks above the baskets. Ask your league before match day. For practice, scrimmages and most youth games, a screen next to the court works.

Do the phone and the screen need the same Wi-Fi?

For Shot Clock, no. Both connect over the internet, so the phone can use mobile data while the laptop uses the gym Wi-Fi. Some apps use the local network or Bluetooth instead, which works without internet but needs both devices close together on one network.
