Mid South Day 2026

On Sunday, we welcomed some of South Canterbury Basketball Association U16 teams for a day of basketball, while our Mid Canterbury U18 and U19 boys squads also took to the court. A Mid Canterbury Invitational side, made up of men's players, helped round out the schedule and provided some strong competition.

It was a valuable day of development, giving players the chance to gain game experience and put their training into action.

🏀 U18 Boys Team Profiles 🏀

Mid Canterbury’s U18 Boys are set for an exciting challenge at the Mainland Championships, stepping up to compete against some of the strongest teams in the South Island.

This group has been putting in strong work throughout the season, including training alongside the U19s, where they’ve really impressed with their effort and competitiveness. They also looked sharp at Mid South Day on Sunday, showing great signs of what’s to come. There’s plenty of potential in this group, and the sky is the limit as they continue to develop.
