How to track basketball on Strava
Strava added Basketball as an official activity type in 2024. The tracking side is solved. The post still isn't.

- 2On the activity edit screen, set the type to Basketball.
- 3Save — Strava logs time, duration and heart rate.
- 4Open UPPOST, pick Basketball, fill in score, type, result.
- 5Paste the title and caption into Strava, attach the image.
Example
Why the default Strava post is not enough for basketball
Strava can log the activity — duration, time, sometimes heart rate. What it can't capture in a structured way is everything that actually makes a basketball session worth sharing: score, game type, result, location, key moment. The feed sees a generic title and no image. UPPOST fixes that by turning those fields into a recap image with a matching title and caption.

FAQ
Does UPPOST track my basketball automatically?
No. UPPOST is a recap and share-card generator, not a tracker. You add the details (score, result, etc.) and UPPOST turns them into a Strava-ready image, title and caption.
Does UPPOST post directly to Strava?
No. UPPOST creates the image, title and caption. You copy them into your Strava activity yourself. There is no automatic posting and no official Strava integration.
Can I use this after recording with Garmin, Apple Watch or another app?
Yes. UPPOST works regardless of which device or app recorded the session. You're enhancing the Strava post, not the recording itself.
Do I need to fill in every detail?
No. Fill in the fields that matter to you. The more you add, the richer the share card — but a short recap still looks better than the default Strava post.
Is UPPOST affiliated with Strava?
No. UPPOST is an independent tool. It doesn't claim partnership, sync, or official integration with Strava.
