The Canada Basketball - Centres for Performance program is:
• A regional training centre concept intended to identify and develop elite-level Canadian basketball players at a young age.
• An elite program for players and coaches designed to teach individual offensive and team fundamentals while also presenting aspects of sports science that are necessary to become a high level player and coach.
• The key component of Canada Basketball’s national player and coach identification and development strategy.
• Established because of an identified need for a more systematic, thorough and unified national approach to identify and develop outstanding junior basketball players in every province and territory in Canada.
It is also identified that a network of coaches be established and continuing development of this network of coaches be undertaken to ensure the thorough and contemporary delivery of the technical program to the athletes.
• Our vision is to become a world leader in basketball development.
