HomeCourt

What is HomeCourt?

HomeCourt is an AI basketball training app that uses the camera on an iPhone or iPad to analyze shots and ball handling and give feedback in real time. It needs only a basketball and the device, with no smart ball or extra sensors. The app is built by NEX Team.

Key capabilities of HomeCourt

• Shot tracking: the rear camera records makes and misses and shot stats
• Ball handling drills: the front camera tracks dribbling moves
• Interactive workouts: gamified drills with real-time scoring
• Virtual competitions: challenge friends, teammates and players worldwide
• NBA challenges: training sessions led by pro players such as Sue Bird and Steve Nash
• Year-round analytics: progress tracking and skill ratings in HomeCourt+

How HomeCourt works

You lean the phone against a bottle or use a tripod, start a drill, and the camera detects the ball, hoop and your movements using computer vision. Shots, makes and dribble counts are logged during the session and shown as stats afterward. HomeCourt+ adds personalized daily workouts and training programs with more than 50 sessions.

Who uses HomeCourt?

Players, parents and coaches use HomeCourt for individual practice and for tracking progress between team sessions. The vendor cites coverage in TIME, WIRED and Fast Company and offers a team subscription option.

HomeCourt pricing

The core app is free. HomeCourt+ is the paid membership and third-party sources report $7.99 per month or $69.99 per year, with a team plan available; check the in-app price, since the vendor pricing page could not be fetched.

HomeCourt alternatives

HomeCourt is compared with Pixellot and Sportlogiq, which serve teams and leagues, and with Uplift Labs for biomechanics. HomeCourt differs by targeting individual players with only a phone.
