Having worked in the NBA, NCAA and most recently as Great Britain’s national teams assistant coach, Canterbury is lucky to have Jamie in our community for 2 weeks developing coaches and players. We highly encourage all coaches from beginners to advanced to attend these free sessions. We would also highly encourage young players (Age 15 +) considering beginning their coaching journey to come as Jamie will be sharing his story of how he started coaching as a player.

Besides the BBQ session where Jamie will share his journey from the UK as a young player to international coach, Jamie will also run sessions on the three main concepts from 3 different teams he has been a part of:

North Carolina Primary & Secondary Break
Oxford University 4-Out and 5-Out Motion Offence
Boston Celtics Middle Pick & Roll Coverages
