The Professional Development Series (PDS) is a comprehensive continuing education program for basketball coaches of all levels at the NABC Convention. The focus of the program is to develop well-rounded basketball coaches on a professional and personal level. PDS clinics are broken down into three categories: Coaching Development, Personal Development, and Ethics. To become NABC PDS certified, coaches must attend three coaching development clinics and two personal development/ethics clinics during the NABC Convention.
The industry’s most innovative coaching products and services are on display at the NABC MARKETPLACE trade show.
The Collegiate Coaching Consortium, a join initiative between AthleticDirectorU and the NABC, brings together a cohort of rising basketball coaches and Division I athletic directors to partake in a rigorous multi-day academy that teaches each how to identify, analyze and influence critical organizational processes as a means of building better teams and athletic programs.
