High Performance Training Program
The High Performance Training Program (HPT) is the highest level of Basketball BC's 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.
The HPT program is for athletes entering Grades 10 -12 in the fall (ages 15 -17 by the end of the year). Athletes are required to try out for the program, but some athletes may receive a direct invitation based on prior identification or evaluation through provincial and national team participation.
Girls HPT Program
High Performance Training Program (HPT) is part of Canada Basketball Targeted Athlete Strategy (TAS). The program is committed to developing high quality athletes through a comprehensive yearly training program. The program curriculum has been developed in concert with Canada Basketball. One of the main objectives of the HPT program is preparing athletes for performing on both the National and International stage.
Current BC athletes that are part of Canada Basketball’s National team program are players that have developed through participation in our HPT program and provincial team program:

Boys HPT Program
This Fall, the Boys HPT 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.
2022 PROGRAM COACHES
Co-Head Coaches: James Blake (UVic) and Matt McKay (Douglas)
