Building Skills, Confidence, and Community: Coach Jim Fox Leads THE LAB in Cayman

From October 19–24, 2025, the Cayman Islands Basketball Association (CIBA) proudly hosted Coach Jim Fox for an unforgettable week of basketball development, mentorship, and inspiration. The visit marked another major step in CIBA’s ongoing mission to elevate the standard of basketball across the Cayman Islands and provide world-class opportunities for both players and coaches.

A Week of Growth at THE LAB

Throughout the week, Coach Fox led THE LAB: Skills & Development Camp at the UCCI Sir Vassel Johnson Gymnasium, where more than 40 young athletes participated in focused sessions designed to sharpen their fundamentals, improve their understanding of the game, and build their confidence on and off the court.
Players ages 10–16 were put through drills emphasizing footwork, decision-making, shooting technique, and teamwork — with every session blending structure, discipline, and encouragement.

“We want to give our players the right tools and mindset to reach their full potential,” said CIBA President Collin Anglin. “Coach Fox’s ability to teach the game at such a high level while connecting with our youth was truly exceptional.”

Developing Coaches and Strengthening Programs

Beyond working with players, Coach Fox also invested time in the growth of local coaches. On Wednesday, October 22, CIBA hosted a Coach Development Workshop on Youth Player Development, which attracted coaches from clubs across the island.
The interactive session provided practical guidance on how to structure practices, motivate young players, and create age-appropriate development plans.

Coach Fox also conducted a special on-court training session with the U17 Boys National Program on Tuesday, October 21, sharing elite-level instruction and insights that helped strengthen the team’s preparation for upcoming international competition.

Connecting with the Cayman Community

While in Cayman, Coach Fox joined Dionne Anglin on Radio Cayman’s “Sports Xtra” to discuss the camp, youth development, and the future of basketball in the region. His appearance helped shine a light on the positive impact CIBA’s programs continue to make for athletes across all age groups.

A Shared Vision for the Future

CIBA’s ongoing focus on technical development — for players, coaches, and officials — aligns with its broader strategic goals to strengthen governance, increase international competitiveness, and ultimately build a “Home for Basketball” in the Cayman Islands.
Coach Fox’s visit represented an important milestone in that journey, reminding everyone involved of the power of sport to bring people together and transform lives.

Special Thanks

CIBA extends heartfelt thanks to Coach Jim Fox for his dedication, energy, and willingness to share his expertise; to all the athletes and coaches who participated; and to the support staff and volunteers who made this week possible.
