HOW WE STARTED
We are a Not-for-Profit organization servicing the greater Porirua region. A haven for keen students of the game since 2012, the club is run by volunteers and an impressive calibre of coaches who share the same passion for basketball.
The Club was started by a group of families that had a passion for the game of basketball and recognized an opportunity to provide the Porirua community access to services to develop and learn the game. Founding members Luana and Nixon Penese who have been driving this initiative have created a great culture for the club
"The training sessions not only develop basketball skills, but build CHARACTER, RESPECT, TEAMWORK and a great WORK ETHIC. "
"My payback is seeing these kids not only develop their basketball skills but also become GREAT HUMAN BEINGS."

Lead Coach
"It's more than just providing basketball development and enabling basketball pathways. It includes LIFE SKILLS, creating connections, FRIENDSHIPS and contributing to better MENTAL HEALTH."
"We wanted to give back to the game by creating A SPACE FOR ANYONE OF ANY SKILL LEVEL that wanted to learn to play basketball".
