Vikings United Day – Turning Pro Academy

Vikings United Day is a celebration of community, legacy, and the power of sport to inspire the next generation. Anchored by the Annual Homewood-Flossmoor High School Basketball Alumni Game, this signature event unites Viking alumni, student-athletes, families, and neighbors for a day of pride, connection, and giving back.

Annual H-F Alumni Basketball Game

A high-energy showdown that brings Viking pride to center court, the Alumni Game is one of Homewood-Flossmoor’s most beloved traditions. Former H-F standouts return to relive their glory days, reconnect with teammates, and show today’s athletes what’s possible through dedication and hard work. Before tip-off, Vikings United proudly honors its Feeder Basketball Program’s graduating class and celebrates notable statewide or national accomplishments — inspiring the next wave of Viking athletes to dream big.

Summer Basketball Camp

Leading into Vikings United Day, youth from across the community sharpen their skills at the Vikings United Summer Basketball Camp. Designed for all levels, the camp blends elite-level training with lessons in leadership, teamwork, and discipline — preparing athletes for success both on and off the court.

Back-to-School Giveaway

Because a strong school year starts with the right tools, Vikings United Day includes a community-wide Back-to-School Giveaway. Students receive backpacks, school supplies, and resources to help them start the year prepared and confident. It’s one of the many ways Vikings United stays rooted in its mission to uplift local youth.

Rooted in Community, Built for the Future

Founded by Excell Hardy, Vikings United Day is more than an event — it’s a commitment to keeping the connection between alumni, current athletes, and the community strong. By honoring the past, celebrating the present, and investing in the future, Vikings United continues to inspire generations of Vikings to lead, achieve, and give back.
