🏀 WANT TO PLAY BUT DON’T HAVE A FULL TEAM? 🏀

Kia ora whānau!

We’ve had lots of messages from people wanting to get involved in our Adult Community League, but who don’t have enough players to make up a full team.

Don’t let that stop you!

If you’re looking for a team, come down to one of our open scrimmages:

📅 Monday & Thursday
⏰ 6pm
📍 Wainuiomata High School

Come along, have a run, meet some new people and we can help connect you with others who are also looking for a team.

Alternatively, send us a direct message and we’ll add you to a group with other players who are in the same boat and help put a team together.

No need to have a full squad — we’ll help you find your people!

Let’s get more of our community on the court, have some fun and build this league together.

Good people. Good hoops. Great community.

🏀 Intermediate School League Draw 🏀

Kia ora whānau,

Here is the full draw for our Intermediate School League for the remaining weeks of the competition.

Kia ora whānau

Here is the draw for the final 3 weeks of our Primary League!

We hope our tamariki are having lots of fun, enjoying their basketball and, most importantly, learning along the way. We’re encouraging them to develop the importance of teamwork, passing, dribble hand-offs and spacing on the court.

A little reminder that this is a pilot programme, so we would love to hear from you! If you have any feedback, suggestions or ideas, please feel free to email us or send us a private message. We’ll take everything on board and use your feedback to help shape the next primary school competition we run in the future.

Thank you to all the schools, coaches, whānau and tamariki for getting behind the competition and making it such a great experience. 💚🏀

Ngā mihi,

The students from Wainuiomata High School Basketball who attended the Hoop Nation Tournament during the last week of the school holidays would like to acknowledge and thank the amazing businesses, whānau, and community groups who got behind us.

Because of your support, our students not only looked professional in their new uniforms, but 16 young men were also able to experience a tournament that only one player had attended before. Opportunities like this create memories, growth, confidence, and experiences that go far beyond basketball.

Special thanks to:
• Love Wainuiomata
• Kokiri Marae
• Jittabugz
• Way of Life Fitness
• Frank Buttner
• Filipino Hoopers Wainuiomata
• Don Ramons Pinoy Barbeque
• RNC
• GROENZ
• Huia Pools
• Petone Lighthouse
• Hervey Whānau
• Smiler Whānau
• Wainuiomata High School

We also want to thank all the families and teams who support our community leagues and one-off tournaments. Every dollar raised goes back into creating positive basketball experiences, developing great young men, and hopefully in the future, providing the same opportunities for our young women as well.

Thank you for backing our players and our community.
