CENTRE FOR PERFORMANCE
   

   

 

 

The Centre for Performance Program is intended to identify and develop elite-level Canadian basketball players at a young age. This nationally directed initiative is designed to teach individual offensive and team fundamentals while presenting aspects of sports science that are necessary to become a high level player and coach. Select players and coaches involved in CP will be eligible to participate in Canada Basketball's National Team programming.

Canada Basketball in cooperation with the provinces has established centers across Canada.  The program provides a systematic, thorough and unified national approach to identify and develop outstanding junior basketball players in every province and territory in Canada.

Canada Basketball has provided Basketball PEI the opportunity to operate a Centre for Performance program for the 2010-2011 season.

What is Canada Basketball’s Centres For Performance Program?

Canada Basketball’s Centres for Performance (CP) program is 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 Centres for Performance program is the key component of Canada Basketball’s national player and coach identification and development strategy.

Canada Basketball’s Centres for Performance program was 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 was 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.

How Does Canada Basketball’s Centres For Performance Program Work?

The Centres for Performance program is a nationally directed initiative which is delivered through the provinces/territories in partnership with the Canadian Sports Centres across Canada.
