WE’RE CANADA BASKETBALL VERIFIED
The Canada Basketball Verification Program is designed for everyone providing basketball opportunities for players in Canada. The program is founded on three pillars of success:
-
Safe Sport & EDI (Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion)
-
Technical Skills
-
Governance & Administration
These pillars have been established as the foundational standards for all Verified organizations like ours. Athletes, parents, coaches, officials, and organizers can have confidence their Verified organization’s alignment with best practices for basketball programming in Canada.
Verified programs are recognized for being leaders in Safe Sport, as well as their commitment to excellence and best practices. Aligning these best practices across our country will allow us all to drive positive changes and provide the best basketball experience possible for our members.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to deliver high-quality basketball to youth with focus on the fundamentals of the game. We enhance the physical, mental and moral development of athletes while promoting good sportsmanship and hard work on and off the court. Attack Basketball is age-specific and follows the LTAD (Long-Term Development in Sport and Physical Activity) model set out by Canada Basketball. We offer opportunities for beginners (early childhood and teenagers) in our community program and elite level players in our Attack Academy Program. We offer opportunities to youth ages 5-18.
THE LTAD MODEL
Long-Term Development in Sport and Physical Activity is a framework for the development of every child, youth, and adult to enable optimalparticipation in sport and physical activity. It considers growth, maturation and development, trainability, and sport system alignment. The objective of the framework is to promote both sporting excellence at the highest international level and life-long engagement in health-enhancing physical activity.
