Overview
BBNZ Kiwi Hoops is a Basketball New Zealand junior basketball program. It uses basketball activities and games to provide fun and enjoyable learning and participation experiences for young people from five to 13 years of age.
BBNZ Kiwi Hoops is based on modified games and activities that provide fun and success for everyone. It’s designed to meet the needs of young players while keeping the essence of the game.
The program aims to introduce basketball to young Kiwis, helping them to foster a love for the game, develop skills and access pathways for continued development in the sport.
It provides coaches, teachers, parents, volunteers and administrators with a systematic and consistent approach to the development of players. Most importantly, it is great fun for everyone!
The structure, focus and format changes at each stage based on the developmental needs of the players. Most importantly, it is great fun for everyone!
Kiwi Hoops is divided into four age groups listed below,
- Kiwihoops - Bounce (Years 1 & 2)
- Kiwihoops - Mini (Years 3 & 4)
- Kiwihoops - Pro (Years 5 & 6)
- Kiwihoops - All Star (Years 7 & 8)
Sessions will run for six weeks throughout each school term of the year. Term three will only run Bounce and Mini classes as our U14 program conflicts with these classes and court space is scarce.
BNZ kiwi hoops will only run the Bounce and Mini groups in term three and the Bounce group only in term four, as we have miniball and junior high running for the older groups.
All sessions will be held at ILT Stadium Southland.
Dates: Dates vary in each term, please check registration forms for dates (these can vary, due to court availability)
