HomeCourt is a Non-Profit Organization that provides no-cost to parents programming, coaching and mentorship to local youth leveraging the game of Basketball in public spaces.

It’s important to note that HomeCourt is not looking to develop the next Michael Jordan or LeBron James, or replace the role of parents. HomeCourt's vision is to help further teach the discipline, lessons and skills necessary to become a well-rounded student, player and person by honing and developing characteristics of leadership, using basketball as the vehicle for growth and development.
