The Centre for Performance Program (CP) is the second level of the Basketball BC High Performance Program and is part of Canada Basketball’s overall Targeted Athlete Strategy (TAS).
TAS is a national program that provides identified Canadian athletes with the individualized support that they need in their development to enhance what the team-based system already provides.
CP is based on a training model which targets high potential athletes and provides them with advanced level training and experiences to assist in elite level player development. The program is designed to teach the international (FIBA) game that includes both individual and team offensive and defensive skills and to learn various aspects of sports science that are necessary to become an elite basketball player.
CP is for athletes entering Grades 8-10 in the fall (ages 13-15 by the end of the year). Athletes are required to tryout, but an athlete may receive a direct invitation based on prior identification (Futures Program).
CP programming focuses on introducing athletes to the 4 pillars of Performance Training.
Program pillars are dedicated to improving athlete knowledge and performance in the following areas:
Basketball Skills – Emphasizing:
Global Basketball Skills Decision Making Dynamic Play
Physical Development – Focusing On:
Strength Agility Quickness Nutrition
Mental/Social/ Emotional Skills – Stressing:
Mental Skills Preparedness Teamwork Leadership Life skills
These areas have been highlighted by Basketball Canada as essential in the overall development of the athlete.
CP provides instruction in individual athlete training, small group training and team training.
Head Coach: Anthony Luyken

Girls Program Points of Emphasis
This Fall, the Boys CP program will continue with the once a month training model introduced in 2021.
These weekends, while more intensive, will allow for better synergy with athletes participation in school and club training and competition, while also decreasing travel demands on players from outside the lower mainland. The programs will focus on high level skill and concept development while also introducing Canada Basketball national team program concepts and style of play. Additionally, players will be engaged in off court development through guest speakers/coaches and online team activities.
Head Coach: Graham Bonar (Southpointe)
Athletes selected to the program will be notified by Tuesday after the Sunday selection camp. We will not be sending an email to the athletes who were not selected.
For athletes selected to the program, the registration deadline will be included in the selection notification email. All athletes participating in the HPT program must be registered to attend the program.
The selection notification email will be sent through the Basketball BC registration system using email addresses of athletes and their parents/guardians provided for the Tryout registration. Basketball BC is not responsible for any contact information errors made during registration.
Depending on your email filter, the notification email may go to a “junk” folder - make sure your junk folder is not set to auto-delete. The athlete and parent/guardian are responsible for checking for the email notification.
Fees will not be adjusted for partial participation
A 2022-23 Basketball BC Athlete membership is required for participation in a Basketball BC program or event. The membership fee of $15 will be added to the registration if required.
