Center for Performance Program

The Centre for Performance program is a training centre concept 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.
With the support of provincial basketball associations across the country, 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.
