    The objectives of the SPS program are to instruct coaches, athletes, and stakeholders regarding the strength and conditioning of the Basketball game; spread awareness through education to have better return on investments for basketball clubs and managements; have a pool of local candidates to hire qualified strength and conditioning coaches for planning and implementing programs across national teams and clubs; improve the athletic capabilities of the national teams and Clubs by building young generations with proper biomechanics/human movement; and decrease injury incidence among players.

    "I have learned many new things about strength and conditioning training and the difference of load on the players in different competitions," said Telman Battulga, a participant of the program.

    This is yet another SPS program organized by FIBA Regional Office - Asia, with the first ever program being hosted in Lebanon. Other programs were then later hosted in PalestineQatarMaldives, and Syria.
