What is the Train to Train course and who needs it?

Train to Train (T2T) is Canada Basketball's NCCP course for coaches of athletes aged 12-16 in the Competition Introduction context. It requires Learn to Train (L2T) certification first.

T2T covers micro-teaching, skill and athletic development, seasonal planning, performance analysis, supporting competition, advanced skill progressions, mental training and basic sport program design.

Learn to Train (ages 8-12) is the prerequisite. It covers Long-Term Development, teaching fundamentals (shooting, loading, footwork, spacing, error correction), drill design using the Games Approach, practice planning and the "Make Ethical Decisions" process.

Canada Basketball says the age ranges are guidelines only and coaches may pursue further certification than recommended.
