BNZ KIWI HOOPS – a basketball programme for tamariki!

Share this article

BBNZ Kiwi Hoops is Basketball New Zealand’s national basketball programme for tamariki. It uses basketball activities and games-based learning to support tamariki to develop skills and confidence and grow their love for the game. There are five ways BNZ Kiwi Hoops will be delivered across the motu in 2024.

These are:

  • In-school 4–8-week programme
  • After-school 4–8-week programme
  • 1-off events – in schools and/or communities
  • Holiday programme(s)
  • Gameplay formats

To get involved, contact development@manawatu.basketball for further information.

Thanks to our recent partnership with BNZ, the BNZ Kiwi Hoops programme is more visible than ever before – helping to connect more tamariki with local opportunities to get active and have fun.

The programme provides best practice tools and resources for coaches, teachers, parents, volunteers, and administrators to ensure all tamariki can play basketball in a safe and enjoyable environment.
