History
The Quebec Basketball Federation is the disciplinary board
for basketball in the province. Incorporated in 1970, our non-profit organization
is headed by a board of directors comprised of volunteers elected in our annual
general meeting. The mandate of the board of directors is to represent, guide
and manage the Federation.
The daily administration of the organization is carried out by permanent and contractual
employees working under the direction of the general manager. As per its operational
plan, the Federation oversees the organization of numerous national- and international-calibre
events. Each year, more than 5,000 players take part in the various tournaments
and events run by the Federation. From our Fall Festival to the Provincial Championships
-- with a stop in between at the Montreal International Festival – we offer
something for every basketball fan and for players of all levels.
The Federation is committed to developing the skills and techniques of its members.
With this in mind, we have invested heavily in the training of athletes and coaches.
Each year, some 250 coaches benefit from taking the National Coaching Certification
Program. Working in conjunction with the National Referee Committee, the Federation
also offers training and certification to some 500 officials across the province
annually.
Standing some 35,000-members strong, The Quebec Basketball Federation is helping
stoke the passion for basketball in the four corners of the province.
Mission
Made up of team, regional, major
official, individual, organizing, affiliated and honorary
members, the Quebec Basketball Federation assumes the
