[Team Name],

While the Corona virus is keeping us all at home, we would like to help all the players continue to practice their core basketball skills, keep them active, and help them stay connected with their teammates. We believe digital tools like HomeCourt can help our community stay active together during these challenging times.

If you’re not familiar with HomeCourt, it’s a basketball AI app that helps players develop their core skills through interactive drills on an iPhone or iPad. It’s backed by the NBA and something that is a fun new way to train. Here is a link to give you an idea of how it works: https://www.homecourt.ai

It’s free to use so there is no cost to you. Download HomeCourt here: https://homecourt.app/download.

Once you have installed the app on your device, please tap on this invite link [INSERT YOUR TEAM INVITE URL HERE] to be joined to our virtual team on HomeCourt.

For today, please have your child explore and play around with HomeCourt. I would recommend they tap on “Activities” (middle bottom icon), go to “By Categories”, and then go through a few of the basic the ball handling drills and agility drills for now.

Also, for tips on how to setup your device for different activities, you can access a number of How To videos here: https://homecourt.app/howto.

Tomorrow our coaching staff will email out a schedule of activities on HomeCourt that we can all follow to keep practicing from home.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
