FIBA Assist Magazine
In order to share the best experiences and to be regularly up to date about innovations, FIBA launched the FIBA Assist Magazine in 2003. Since then we have taken on the challenge to produce a magazine that will assist in the further development of the sport of basketball and we have published 24 issues, which have been very well received by the basketball world.
The bi-monthly magazine is intended to be a concise vehicle of communication with an emphasis on the teaching of basketball together with a study of all the other components of the reality of today’s basketball environment. Our primary responsibility is to reach an editorial sensibility that will strive to capture and convey the spirit of basketball.
The content will be geared at providing the right mix of information from knowledgeable sources within the basketball community as to the technical aspects going from the initiation to basketball all the way up to the top senior competition, to sports medicine, teaching aides, the regulation and officiating of the sport, basketball facilities, managing basketball federations in addition to providing coverage as to event management and the marketing side of the sport. The key words are education and training.
The content of the magazine:
- Coaching – for all age levels and all competitive levels
- Refereeing and administrating the basketball game – including scorers table officials and game commissioners
- Psychology and Motivation
- Medicine
- Conditioning and Physiotherapy
- Marketing
- Administration
- Event Management and analysis of past continental and world events
- Presentation of Coaches Associations

- Equipment and construction of facilities
- Mini Basketball and School basketball

- Basketball news from around the world
- "Off the court" - odd, fun and unusual basketball stories
These main fields may be supplemented by special areas of interest in some issues as well as exclusive interviews with coaches and players and general news on a regular basis.
We hope that this bi-monthly magazine, which will also be available for download here, will be of assistance to all those who have been responsible for the tremendous progress of global basketball in the recent years: coaches, teachers, doctors, trainers, referees, administrators and managers. Simply all the ones who assure the development of our sport.
We hope that the FIBA Assist Magazine will be the beginning of a lifetime of learning and sharing. We have also to use it as our promotional tool and a vehicle for exchange of information, new ideas and trends in the coaching field and elsewhere.
