Dominique Simmons will depart to play in an international tour in Kenya, Africa for a duration of 3 weeks. During this time, Simmons will compete against Africa’s National Teams and women’s club teams in surrounding areas. Although, the desire is to win games and compete, a portion of the tour will include conducting basketball camps and helping with various service projects of surrounding African communities.

​The international tour will start in Ohio, where all selected athletes will participate in a 3 day training camp, prior to flying over to Africa to compete. The international tour is being hosted by Cru-Campus Crusade for Christ International, who sends both men’s and women’s teams to compete overseas each year and represent the love of Christ through basketball.
