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.
​

  • 10-12  spots available (first come, first serve)

About Coach
Lori Wild has been playing basketball for over 25 years in and around Metro Detroit. Coach Wild played on the 1999 Utica Chieftains 27-0 Class A State Championship Basketball Team and earned a Division I Scholarship to play basketball at the University of Detroit Mercy. 

Coach Wild believes that if it were not for the game of basketball, the life skills learned and the people met through the game of basketball her life would not be the same. It is pivotal to provide our youth with the coaching and mentoring necessary to further positively shape their lives, not only their future but also for our communities and country. 


The basketball court is located just south of the Splash Pad on Merrill Plaisance.
