NZ Maori Basketball National Tournament 2014
Kia ora koutou,
Please find attached information for the NZ Maori Basketball National Tournament being held in Rotorua during Waitangi 6 – 8 February, 2013.
This tournament is being hosted by Rotorua Basketball for “NZ Maori Basketball Aotearoa Incorporated” for 2014, 2015, 2016, then it will move on to another rohe to host for the next three years and so forth.
Venue: Rotorua Energy Events Centre – 7 courts
Preference in the longterm would be to have rohe/iwi/ or clubs being able to enter a number of teams into the various grades – please see documents attached.
For those not aware, Maori Basketball was granted permission from BBNZ to enter Maori teams into the FIBA Oceania Pacific Champs to be held in Porirua in November-December this year. Trials were held in Rotorua to select the men’s & women’s teams to compete in this tournament and the men are off to Hawaii for their warm-up, the women have internal camps & warm-up games.
It is also hoped that in the near future, as pathways for Maori athletes, coaches, referees & managers that we may be able to field age group teams & will be using the National tournament to identify athletes for these.
If you have any further questions, please contact me.
Kind regards
