The Basketball Parent Guide exists to help parents make better decisions in basketball, especially when the system doesn’t explain itself.
Most parents want to support their child properly, but many have never played basketball and are left guessing how progression, playing time, and opportunity actually work. Clubs organise teams. Leagues organise competition. But parents are rarely shown how decisions made at home shape confidence, readiness, and outcomes long before results show up on the court.
Created by Nicholas Lewis, a professional basketball player with over a decade of experience and national team involvement for both Canada and Great Britain, The Basketball Parent Guide turns lived experience into clarity for families navigating the game.
This is not a training programme.
It does not promise outcomes.
And it is not built on hype.
It exists to help parents understand where responsibility really sits and how to make informed decisions instead of guessing.
Alongside the guide, parents can access Parent Decision Calls to talk through their own situation, gain perspective, and understand what actually matters next.
The Basketball Parent Guide is for parents who want direction, not promises.
