Hey Breakers Academy family, some of you will have seen the email sent this morning... Unfortunately, due to Auckland going into Alert Level 3, our training facility is closed and all Breakers Academy and Junior Breakers programmes are suspended until further notice.

Credits will be offered for any sessions missed as a result of the lockdown. We will update you again when we have further information.

Mike Lacey's recap of the Oklahoma University side taking on the 'NZ Premiers' on Sunday. A great chance for some current Academy members (Thomas Whyte, Tom Higgins and Kruz Perrott-Hunt) to take on former Academy member Matt Freeman.

The University of Oklahoma Sooners may have only been in the country for 24 hours but they still proved far too good for the New Zealand Premier team winning 133-91 at Auckland Grammar School on Su…

Huge congratulations to the Isaac Letoa and his family, with Isaac signing at Ivy League school Dartmouth College. Isaac was a member of the Breakers Academy, from 2014 - 2016. He represented both Wellington and North Harbour associations and played for both Wellington College and Westlake BHS. Isaac is currently playing for the Wellington Saints in the NZNBL. This scholarship is a great reward for all of his hard work on the court and in the class room.

Young New Zealand basketballers earning scholarships to the United States to pursue their educations and further their basketball careers are not uncommon. In fact, New Zealand is something of a nursery of world class young talent, with more than 50…Read more ›

Great piece on Tai Webster's NBA chances and the route he has taken to get to this point:

It’s no secret that the NBA is a copycat league, so don’t be surprised if teams try to search for “the next Malcolm Brogdon” during the 2017 NBA Draft. Brogdon was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks w…
