Performance Coach Development Programme

The Performance Coach Development Programme (PCDP) underpins the High Performance Framework. The  PCDP supports the coaching communities of the National Squads and Talent Development Programme.

The aim of the Performance Coach Development Programme is to harness expertise and experience within Scotlands Coaching Community and facilitate the sharing of this expertise.

basketballscotland is currently working with Ollie Dudfield to establish a framework of development opportunities and provide expert support to coaches.

Kevin Pringle, CEO of basketballscotland, said “We are delighted to be renewing our commitment to Scotland’s most talented coaches. Having a professional of Ollie’s calibre working with Scottish coaches will be a great boost to the National Squads and Talent Development Programme.”

Formerly National Director of Coaching for Basketball New Zealand, Dudfield has recently started a post with UK Sport working on coach development programmes in developing countries. No stranger to Scotland, Dudfield has delivered coach clinics in Scotland before and provided great support behind the scenes in the development of a Scotland-wide coaching approach.

“I’m looking forward to learning more from Scotland’s High Performance coaching community”, commented Dudfield, “and helping to strengthen the ties between coaches.”

The programme re-launch is recognition from basketballscotland that supporting Scotland’s High Performance Programmecoaches is vital to achieving the dual vision of Scottish National Team success and Great Britain selection for Scottish players.
