Canada Basketball Verification Program

 

The Canada Basketball Verification Program is a new program that has been developed in a partnership between the Alberta Basketball Association and Canada Basketball. It is available to all basketball clubs, associations, and community groups in Alberta and in Canada. The program raises standards to guide all associations across the country towards best principles and practices for organizational development. The Verification Program integrates important aspects of coaching, Safe Sport, and organizational leadership. Becoming Verified encourages basketball providers to add accountability to their mandates providing a welcoming, safe, and developmentally appropriate environment for all players and members.

If you provide basketball opportunities for players in Alberta, this program is for you. 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 foundation for standards for all Verified organizations. 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 Alberta and Canada will allow us all to drive positive changes and provide the best experience possible for our members.
