A few of our athletes had a fantastic time at the Nelson Basketball Association summer camp, where they trained with experienced coaches, learnt valuable information from nutritionists and developed their skills with professional trainers to deepen their understanding of the game.

It was a fantastic weekend away and Thank you to all involved! Super proud of our kids for their positive attitudes and contributions to the camp environment!

Last night, Buller Basketball Association hosted its annual Presentation Night — a fantastic celebration of another successful representative season.

Players, coaches, parents, and volunteers were all recognised for their dedication, passion, and hard work throughout the year. It’s clear that the future of basketball in our region is bright and full of potential.

A special shoutout to the Reefton contingent, who had an outstanding night, taking home several well-deserved awards:

Reefton Raptors - Year 7 Boys Runner up

Reefton Seniors - Champions Secondary grade

Lakyn Manawatu - Buller U14 Development Most Improved Player

Raith Butcher - Buller U16 Player of the Year

Sophie Fleming - Buller U14 Player of the Year

Cameron Rosanowski - Buller Sportmanship Award

Congratulations to all our players, and a heartfelt thank you to the parents whose ongoing support and sacrifice makes it all possible.

None of this would happen without the incredible efforts of our coaches, volunteers, and referees. The Buller Basketball Association is lucky to have such a committed and passionate community behind it.
