🏀 What a weekend for Waikato!

A huge congratulations to our three Waikato wheelchair basketball teams who travelled to Christchurch over the weekend for WBNZ Nationals – Round 3!

There was plenty to celebrate, with our Waikato 2nd Division team taking out the win and bringing home the shield! 🏆

And the success didn’t stop there…

👏 Tarly was named Female Player of the Year
👏 Jesse was named 1st Division Defensive Player of the Year
👏 Tarly, Jesse and Sage were all selected for their respective Division Tournament Teams ⭐

A fantastic recognition of the talent, commitment and hard work within our Waikato wheelchair basketball community.

A special shout-out to coach Maioro for his leadership, encouragement and commitment to our teams throughout the season. 🙌

And of course, a massive congratulations to all our players, coaches, supporters and whānau who helped make the weekend such a success.

You represented Waikato with pride — well done, team! ❤️🖤💛

🎳 Friday night fun with Parafed Waikato Youth Group! 🎳

What better way to spend a Friday night in the school holidays than with tenpin bowling, plenty of laughs and a bit of friendly competition! 😄🎳

It was awesome to have our Youth Group kids and their families come along for a fun-filled evening together. There were plenty of strikes, a few gutter balls 😂 and lots of smiles along the way!

We love being able to provide opportunities for our young people to get together, have fun, try something new and enjoy time with their whānau and friends.

Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a great night! ❤️🖤💛

Thanks to WEL Energy Trust for these opportunities
