Coach Pat
Co-Founder & Executive Director
Home Court
Being a part of Home Court has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be involved with the great coaches, participants and families who are part of the Home Court community. Every day we get the chance to celebrate success on and off the court and for that I am really proud of the impact Home Court is having on our community.

Since opening our doors in 2003, more than 9,000 participants have been able to enjoy the Home Court experience. In that same time, hundreds of volunteer and staff coaches have also experienced great personal growth using the game of basketball to connect with younger participants. While we are proud of our past, we will need your support to ensure our future. We’ve established two funds; the Home Court Kids and the Coaching Development, to make sure that our tuitions remain affordable for as many families as possible and increase our impact on our local community.

As you can see from the reviews & stories below, Home Court has always been more than just basketball. Giving to Home Court will have an impact on Home Court Kids, Home Court Coaches and our community. With your generous support, Home Court will continue to expand our reach into the community. We look forward to having you join our team.

Sincerely,
Coach Pat

The Assist is the ultimate team play in basketball. One player gives up the ball in order to set up another teammate in position to score. Get enough players to place team success in front of individual rewards and you have a truly unique youth sports experience. The Gift of the Assist Campaign will not only ensure that Home Court continues to be a positive and productive place for kids in our community but also expands the number of those in the community who will share in the ultimate success of Home Court Kids.


Home Court has provided a place where success is celebrated on a daily basis for the last six years. In 2009, more than 1,600 boys and girls will have participated in the truly unique experience that is a Home Court program. In fact, more than 8,000 boys and girls have walked through the doors at Home Court since they were opened in August of 2003. That number doesn't include the thousands of community service hours that Jr. High and High School students have received as volunteer coaches, learning to give back through the game they love. While the numbers are impressive, it is the individual stories of success that best represent Home Court's impact.

"I participated in activities at Home Court since I was in the 6th grade. Two weeks ago, I was elected the next President of my school. You might ask yourself how these two events are connected. Let me explain. In my time at Home Court I learned many valuable lessons about leadership, perseverance, and dedication not to mention the great basketball skills. I would never be in the position that I am today if I had not attended Home Court."
