We are excited about the future and look forward to building even stronger partnerships, creating more opportunities, and reaching even more young athletes together in the years ahead.

Thank you for being part of the journey. We wish you all the very best and look forward to working with you on bigger and better things to come.

TE WAIPOUNAMU - SOUTH ISLAND TALENT ID CAMP COMPLETE ✅

We have successfully wrapped up our South Island Talent ID Camp!

A huge thank you to all the players, parents, families, coaches, and basketball club leaders who took the time to attend and participate in this event. Your support, commitment, and passion for the game continue to help grow basketball opportunities throughout the South Island and beyond.

We were encouraged by the talent, effort, attitude, and enthusiasm displayed throughout the camp. Most importantly, it was great to see athletes from different backgrounds and communities coming together through the game we all love.

These camps are an important part of building future pathways and identifying athletes for upcoming opportunities, including regional, national, and international events.

To everyone who attended, thank you for trusting the process and being part of the journey. We appreciate the support from parents and the collaboration from clubs and community leaders who continue to invest in the development of young athletes.

We are excited about what lies ahead and look forward to sharing the next steps in the coming weeks. To those who missed out, watch out for our next events!

IMPORTANT UPDATE – AUCKLAND / NORTH ISLAND ID CAMP SCHEDULE CHANGE 📢

To all players and families attending the PhilNZReps Auckland / North Island ID Camp, please note an important update regarding the camp schedule.

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances from the facility, the 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM session has been cancelled.

To ensure everyone still has the opportunity to participate, we will now be combining both groups into one camp session:

🏀 Combined Session
🕘 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM

This means players originally registered for both the 9–11 AM and 11 AM–1 PM groups will now attend together.

We understand this may affect some families and apologise for the inconvenience. If the new time does not work for you, players are welcome to attend the Sunday schedule instead.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding and flexibility as this change was outside of our control. Our focus remains making sure all players still have the opportunity to participate and enjoy the camp experience.

Thank you everyone and we look forward to seeing you all this weekend!
