Nick has a long history of involvement with the game of basketball. He has been playing the sport for the past 18 years with his most recent work involving coaching and player development. He comes to the Bay having resigned from his position at St Paul’s Collegiate in Hamilton where he was responsible for organising and structuring a successful basketball programme for the boys.

Basketball Hawkes Bay is excited to have Nick on board – his experience in the game and his energy and enthusiasm for developing youth basketballers will be a huge driving force for the association as we continue to grow and develop the game in the Bay.  He is a talented player and has much knowledge to pass on to our up and coming.

Delighted to be in the Bay and working his ‘dream job’, Nick told us: “I’m stoked to be here! Hawke’s Bay has the talent to be one of the best Basketball communities in New Zealand, and I’m excited to be a part of that movement.” 

Please welcome Nick to Hawke’s Bay as you see him around the courts!
