In 2026, we are launching five Kaipara Basketball Clubs to make our Youth League more accessible and community-focused.

Each club provides a central hub for players and whānau in their local area, creating easier pathways into basketball without the need for long travel or extra costs.

By bringing the game closer to home, we aim to grow participation, build strong connections within each community, and give our young players the chance to develop their skills while representing their own rohe with pride.
