☀️🏀 SUMMER CAMP IS COMING

January might still feel a while away, but we’re already getting ready for one of our favourite events of the year.

You can check out this year’s camp info on our website now, including the new Junior and Senior programme format, session times and Early Bird pricing.

Awesome wekeend for our U14 teams in Westport last weekend.

We had 2 boys teams and 2 girls teams there with all teams playing some great Basketball across the weekend.

A huge thank you to Mike Fitchett and Abraham Tuthill for coaching the Girls teams and to Phill Jones and Lucas Guyton for coaching the Boys teams. It was great to see the improvement the players made from game to game and I know they all had a lot of fun.

We also sent four young referees to the tournament who all did a great job of refereeing the games.

Thank you to Buller Basketball Association for hosting the tournament. It was a great tournament played in a great spirit.

🔐 IMPORTANT ACCESS UPDATE — JACK ROBINS STADIUM

Jack Robins Stadium now has a new electronic locking system in place.

This means that existing keys will no longer provide access to the stadium. We ask anyone who still holds a Jack Robins Stadium key to please return it to the Nelson Basketball office as soon as possible.

Thank you for helping us complete the changeover to our new access system.

Finally, with a moment to breathe we can give the court a clean. Yes we do this ourselves too!

Remember, it's a gold coin or an open donation to use JR without a booking. This money goes directly into maintaining the stadium. And she needs some work.

Help us to keep the doors open for you!
