Hyper Court: Basketball at your fingertips

Access to basketball has never been this easy for aspiring basketball players and professional ballers alike.

Nike on Saturday officially launched the Hyper Court app that gives exclusive basketball content to Filipino hoopers.

During the event, selected members of the media experienced what the interactive training is all about.

Basketball stars Kiefer Ravena, LA Tenorio, Jayson Castro and Jeff Chan helped conduct shooting and dribbling drills. The training routines are part of the Hyper Court app, which allows Filipino ballers free access to videos.

“It’s very convenient knowing it’s in our hands and everybody is into technology nowadays,” Ravena, a two-time UAAP champion and MVP out of Ateneo told INQUIRER.net. “It makes it accessible to everybody to have your own workouts, to figure out a way on how to improve their skill set and the app made everything possible for everybody.”

“With my experience before, you have to do it the manual way. Go to a coach, training centers. but nowadays, we can maximize the technology that we have. it just made everybody feel like they can be a professional athlete and they can improve their game through the app.”
