Centre for Performance (CP), Centre for Performance (CP) is a nationally established program designed to develop athletes for the purpose of competing at the international basketball level. The program revolves around the “hot house” approach, which focuses on athletes in the key years of their development.
The emphasis of CP is to train skills that athletes do not otherwise have the opportunity to develop. CP is not based on a competition model; rather it is a group of athletes training in pods across Ontario, for the common goal of getting better.
The CP program exists to ensure continued identification for provincial and national level athletes and increased synergy with Canada Basketball’s Jr. Academy for athletes in Grade 5/6 and Grade 7/8.
Call for applications for Head Coaches has been posted on September 7, 2023. Deadline to apply through RAMP registration is September 15, 2023.
