vision
Alex Sarama is the founder of Transforming Basketball and one of the world’s leading coaches in evidence-based teaching. He currently serves as Assistant Coach & Head of Player Development for the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he applies his innovative methods at the highest level of the game. Alex is also the author of the Amazon bestselling book Transforming Basketball (April 2024) and has delivered clinics in more than 40 countries, working as a coach developer for federations and organizations worldwide. His experience includes roles with NBA Europe in Madrid, Paris Basketball in the EuroCup, and the Rip City Remix, the Portland Trail Blazers’ G League affiliate.
But Transforming Basketball is bigger than one coach. It is a proven methodology distilled from Alex’s years of learning, testing, and refining into a practical system that empowers coaches to coach smarter and players to develop faster. The mission goes beyond training — it’s about building a global movement. By equipping coaches with tools, community, and clear pathways, Transforming Basketball seeks to elevate the game everywhere, creating better teams and inspiring coaches and players across the world to embrace a new, evidence-based future for basketball.

I've found the Youth Camp Practice Plans extremely beneficial for our training sessions. I have used them (including concepts within) and the CLA in general across multiple age groups that I coach from U10 - U16 teams and excited to share with other coaches the positive experience the kids have…

This is a great framework for running a Youth Camp, I am starting to coach my son's youth teams, so I've been incorporating ideas from the PDF's to their age group. We also used some of Alex's ideas during the NEXT22 Camp with Cameron Brink, kids loved it! Would definitely purchase this if you're interested in a good plan for camps/practices.
