Collaborative Partnerships

Schools & Clubs

  • We partner with schools & clubs to provide a supportive environment for young people & whanau.
  • We partner with school & clubs to promote basketball and provide the best experience for young people in their community. For example we have partnered with St James School & Linwood Ave schools to donate and install a basketball hoop.  In both situations the schools have been able to secure funding to install a second hoop and provide access to the community outside of school time.
  • Check out our latest Hoops In Schools project at St James here.
