The following is in regard to the international basketball coaching/instructional programs. 
Through our experiences at the elementary, high school, college and university levels we have developed a top quality non-repetitive instructional program that caters to basketball coaches and players of all levels. 
Several national basketball associations have used this program. We have categorized all the skills under a 4 level system. This will insure those coaches taking clinics each year will not receive the same information year after year. Our complete package offers the following:
FOR COACHES:
A 5 level step-by-step coaching system that can be used to certify your coaches so that they are all familiar with a standard basketball coaching system. Level 1, 2 and 3 caters to the beginner, intermediate and advanced. Level 4 would be a follow up clinic every two years to keep active coaches updated in regards to the most recent coaching techniques.  To stay active on your coaching list a coach would have to attend a level 4 clinic every 2 years. 
FOR PLAYERS:
The same level 1 – 3 system is used for running players clinics/camps.
DETAILS:
The Following pages include a detailed description of the content at each level. It can act as a basis for your coaching program or it can compliment your current one. It can also be used for player clinics/ camps (all calibers) and high school recruitment camps for University caliber players. 
In the past we have organized coaches/players clinics in CANADA, EGYPT, WEST INDIES, GRENADA, BARBADOS, ST. VINCENT and UNION ISLAND that involved level 1 – 3 coaching content as well as referees clinics. The participants have included coaches and players (beginners at 5 years of age to national team caliber). 
If you are interested in discussing the possibilities of running any of the above please contact us at your convenience.
