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.

We work with youth & community organisations to co-deliver projects to utilise the strengths of the various organisations. Some examples include:

Sharing resources to deliver free Youthtown Basketball Camps over the holidays for young people from higher deprivations area.
Co-deliver community based 3×3 Tournaments with ACTIS & YCD.
