The Jordanian Anti‑Doping Organization took part in the “Junior Falcons” program in cooperation with the Jordan Basketball Federation. This step aims to include anti‑doping awareness in the training pathways used to prepare technical staff. This participation is part of the Jordanian Anti‑Doping Organization’s annual educational plan, which is prepared each year according to the international education standard and implemented in cooperation with Jordanian sports federations.

The organization held three sessions over the course of a week at Prince Hamzah Hall in Al‑Hussein Youth City, with 89 coaches attending from different governorates across the Kingdom. The program seeks to qualify coaches, so they become the core group responsible for training and developing the next generations in Jordanian basketball.

This was the organization’s first participation of its kind within a specialized technical training program. The sessions included an introductory lecture that focused on raising coaches’ awareness and defining their roles and responsibilities under the World Anti‑Doping Code in protecting and guiding athletes. The sessions also included practical training for coaches on using interactive activities with the athletes. These activities focused on promoting the values of fair play and establishing the concept of “clean sport” as a fundamental approach in their sporting careers, and on linking these values to situations in their daily lives.
