Basketball – currently the fastest growing sport in NZ – will be showcased in a new event to be held on Saturday, December 12 at the Stanmore Bay Leisure Centre.
Incoming chair of the Hibiscus Coast Basketball Association, Brett Forsyth, says anyone interested in junior basketball is encouraged to come along.
“It’s a chance for locals to see the best junior players on the Coast in action,” Brett says. The event, called the Battle of the North Showdown, features top junior and senior College basketball players from 14 different North Island schools.
It includes two head to head games between Te Tai Tokerau Select and Hibiscus Coast Select. Juniors (Years 9-10) tip off at 2pm and seniors (Years 11-13) tip off at 4pm.
Entry costs a gold coin donation, which goes towards enabling local teams to attend tournaments next Easter.
The event will also be live streamed on Facebook via Go Live Media.
