RBA / LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
Expressions of interest open across Japan
Help build a place to keep learning basketball, locally.
RBA is exploring regular development sessions in Japan with families, local coaches and organisations, building on connections made through our clinics.
This is a free enquiry, not enrolment or a paid booking. Locations, schedules, age groups and fees will be announced only when confirmed.
The forms are in Japanese. A parent, guardian or other adult aged 18 or over should complete them.
For families and local partners
Coaches and specialists
Discuss regular coaching, assistance or physical preparation. Duties, payment and travel costs must be agreed before work begins.
Organisers, venues and businesses
Explore local coordination, court access or support. Joint clinics and team visits are possible starting points.
Learn, apply and reflect
Appropriate challenges
Adapt tasks to experience, movement and understanding.
Learning through games
Connect perception, decisions and action in small-sided games.
Physical development
Consider movement, workload and recovery alongside existing activities.
Useful reflection
Share what players have worked on and their next steps. Record-keeping will depend on the local setup.
How a local programme starts
- Register your area and availability
- Confirm venue and coaching arrangements
- Publish a specific trial with its schedule and fee
- Review the trial before deciding on regular sessions
No nationwide opening schedule has been confirmed. We will start where the necessary arrangements are in place.
Before you register
Must a player leave their current team?
No transfer is needed to express interest. Any competitive team registration would have its own rules and separate information.
Will Masato coach every session?
Regular sessions are expected to involve local coaches. The named coach, visits and head-office support will be specified before enrolment.
What will it cost?
Fees are not confirmed. Registering interest incurs no charge.
Does applying create a partnership?
No. Roles, costs, payment, data and brand use require a separate agreement.
Does this include overseas tournaments?
RBA UNITED and overseas activities are separate programmes with their own eligibility and costs.
