Registration for National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) coaching courses is open through Canada Basketball’s Game Plan website.

All clinics in Ontario are listed on Ontario Basketball’s Coach Training page.

Coaching certification is mandatory for all coaches of Ontario Basketball’s member club rep teams.
As outlined in the Ontario Basketball Rules and Regulations Manual, rep team coaches (and managers) must have the following coaching certification:

Trained versus Certified
Note: All Ontario Basketball coaches are expected to attend the requisite NCCP coaching clinic before entering a gymnasium and coaching athletes. While Ontario Basketball understands that the timing of clinics in various regions might not always allow for this to occur, the expectation is that coaches will attend the required clinic as soon as possible so that they can implement the knowledge and skills that they learn at the clinic with their team throughout the season.
After coaches complete a coaching clinic, they are considered “trained” in that specific stage of development (e.g., Learn to Train, Train to Train). To become “certified”, coaches must complete an evaluation. Coaches should attend the required clinic as soon as possible to leave ample time during the season to schedule and complete their evaluation.
At the Learn to Train and Train to Train stages, an evaluation consists of a Coach’s Portfolio and an on-court evaluation of their coaching competency. Once coaches have completed their Coach’s Portfolio, they can request their on-court evaluation through Canada Basketball’s Game Plan website.
