2014 marks a change to the program title to better reflect an adjustment to the structure of the program by linking it more closely with the CP-BC (Provincial) initiative. The name will change from RTC to CP-Zone

Basketball BC is offering Centre for Performance Zone programming for both boys and girls form grade 7 to 11 in five cities across BC; CP- South Vancouver Island in Victoria, CP-North Vancouver Island in Nanaimo, CP – Metro Vancouver, CP-Interior in Kamloops and CP- Okanagan in Kelowna.

The Centre for Performance program has a heavy emphasis on individual skill development with a focus on offensive fundamentals, as well as team principles of play. Players will take part in skill development sessions, receive information on mental training, and undergo physical and skill based testing. While not part of the ongoing CP-BC training that occurs each weekend in Langley, selected athletes from each Zone CP program will be invited to take part in a separate centralized weekend of training held in Metro Vancouver. Athletes and coaches will have an opportunity to interact, train and compete with other members of the CP zone programs from across BC.

When participants register online prior to 'selection day' they will be required to pay a $20 fee (which includes your Basketball BC Membership); if you are chosen to participate in this years CP-Victoria a $370.00 Player fee will be required (this includes HST for the older players, a CANADA BASKETBALL player package & gear, season's pass to UVic Men's and Women's home games).
