#stayinthegame from home

We have been inspired by the incredible creativity from the HomeCourt community over the past few weeks. We’ve seen athletes of all ages, from all over the world join our community and take part in the #stayinthegame challenge. From World Cup Soccer champions to Olympians to Thai dancers to Rockstars, we have been blown away by all the ways HomeCourt is being used to stay active while staying safe at home.

We‘re also grateful for the opportunity to do our part to support the community during this time. To help everyone continue to stay in the game, we have extended the unlocked period for all current HomeCourt features through May 31st. We hope this helps everyone continue to have fun, connect with friends and teammates, and engage in the sports they love from home.

Sports @ Home

It’s also been a welcome surprise to see so many athletes use HomeCourt for so much more than basketball. While basketball is our core, we’ve been excited by all the new ways that HomeCourt can be used for other sports activities.

Soccer players are using the Ball Control drill to work on their juggling, Football players are using the Lateral Quickness cone drill to keep their footwork fresh, Hockey players and goalies are using our Single Target drill to dive for virtual pucks. And one of our personal favorites is the Orlando Roller Derby team getting in on the action.

We’ll be exploring the expanding range of possibilities with sports at home in the weeks and months to come. Stay tuned.

New Live Action Play For Everyone

Today, we are also launching new activities and fitness games to help our community stay active. These are great for any sport, but more importantly they’re just a blast to play at home.

Hope you all can give these a whirl!

2 Player Footwork Ladder

We put a HomeCourt twist on this classic ladder drill. “Quick feet” will have a new meaning after a few rounds with your sibling, friend, or partner.

Cross Fit

Get a quick HIIT with this HomeCourt edition of cross fit inspired routine. Who says squats, jumps, and pushups can’t be fun?

Lateral Hop

Get your heart rate going quick with this effective and fun lateral hop exercise.

Cone Dribble

Get those handles tight and never forget about the fundamentals with this simple yet effective drill.

NBA Challenges

Back by popular demand, the NBA HotShot and Shootout challenges from last year are now available for everyone, no matter where you live. These interactive shooting challenges have real-time audio feedback for immersive gameplay. It’s a great way to get up shots if you have a hoop at home.

Keeping The Game Going

To help everyone stay in the flow just a bit longer, we’re also launching a “Challenge of the Day” initiative. Each day HomeCourt will provide a new challenge with a top score to beat. Featuring pro athletes from different sports, see if you can beat their best.

Challenge of the Day with 2X NBA MVP Steve Nash

We’ve also made it easy for you to share your favorite HomeCourt drills with anyone. Challenge them instantly by simply tapping the share button on each activity page and use any messaging or social media app to send them a link. It’s a great way to connect with your friends and start an impromptu challenge anytime, anyplace.
