The Future Trojans Basketball Camp, scheduled for the week of July 27th-31st is going virtual this year, because of the coronavirus. Here are all the details.

The Future Trojans Basketball Camp will feature the APP Homecourt, which is Apple based. The download of the APP is included in the camp registration fee.

HomeCourt is the interactive, AI-powered mobile App that puts live action sports inside a game. Now everyone can play sports at home. Players can participate in dribbling and shooting drills, along with agility and cross-training.  Drills are timed and scored so players can work to improve their skills and scores, as well as compete against their peers.

All participants in the Future Trojans Camp will need to download the App on an Apple device. You MUST HAVE AN APPLE DEVICE TO PARTICPATE!! . If you do not have access to an Apple device please let Tony McKim know and they will try and figure something out for your child. If you know Tony, you know he always has a few tricks up our sleeve to help the kids!!
