Junior and senior basketball, Nelson

Home ball for Nelson's basketball whanau

We've been running teams out of the Saxton Stadium courts since 2016, from Rippa right through to the senior men's and women's grades. Committee's all volunteer, coaches too, and we rely on our sponsors to keep the subs down.

The club

About the club

We share the Saxton courts with netball and futsal, so training nights shift a little each term, but the committee sends out the updated draw well ahead of time. Most of our coaches came through the junior grades themselves and a fair few still play in the senior competition on the weekend.

“Both our kids have gone through Rippa and Year 5/6 here, and the coaches are patient even when the score gets away on them.”
