BNZ Kiwi Hoops


BNZ Kiwi Hoops is Basketball New Zealand’s national basketball programme for tamariki. It uses basketball activities and games-based learning to build fundamentals and support tamariki to develop their confidence and grow their love for the game. 

The programme provides best practice tools and resources for coaches, teachers, parents, volunteers, and administrators to ensure all tamariki can play basketball in a safe and enjoyable environment 

BNZ Kiwi Hoops has five official delivery models that will be delivered by Approved Delivery Partners across the motu in 2024.

These are: 

  • In-school 4-8 week programme 
  • After-school 4-8 week programme 
  • 1-off activations – in schools and/or communities  
  • Holiday programme(s) 
  • Gameplay formats  

To get involved, find your local association and a programme near you here  or download the Coachmate App to get the full BNZ Kiwi Hoops Programme in your pocket at home for free!  

Thanks to our recent partnership with BNZ, the BNZ Kiwi Hoops programme will be more visible than it has ever been before – helping to connect more tamariki with local opportunities to get active and have fun.
