[u]BASKETBALL ONTARIO ANNOUNCES RESTRUCTURE FOR CP MEN[/u]
The Menʼs Centre for/de Performance program will move to three centralized regions in 2008-09.
The regions will be Central West (Windsor to Guelph, Hamilton, Burlington and Niagara Falls), Central East (GTA and northern areas) and East (Belleville to Ottawa).
This change has been introduced to give more athletes an opportunity to become involved in the CP curriculum. Ontario is the largest province with the highest population; this change will help centralize athletes and minimize travel costs. It will also allow regions to schedule their training dates to fit regional needs. The number of athletes in the program will increase from 30 to more than 50. With a successful restructure, Basketball Ontario and Canada Basketball will look to add a fourth region in 2009-10.
The head coach of the Central East region will be Roy Rana, while Kurt Vosper will be the head coach of the Central West region. The head coach position for the East region is still to be filled.

The exact number of athletes per age group will be determined based on national team potential and identified needs (short and long-term) of the Canadian Men's National Team program.
