Goal
We're Whai Basketball, and we're dreaming BIG! Our Birch Ave warehouse is ready to become Whai HQ – a basketball youth hub for Tauranga's young players to train, play, and chase their dreams. But first, safety! We need $14,000 of padding on our concrete walls to keep everyone safe on the court. With your help, kids can play hard without fear, and we can unlock a world of new community programs to futher enrich our great city!
Our vision is best described through our name - Whai. Whai is a TeReo Māori word which means to “chase” or “pursue.”
We are pursuing a vibrant and socially connected city where young people have their horizon of possibility lifted.
Possibilities of education, life experiences, meaningful work and contributing back into the community.
We do this through our events, programmes and teams including.
- Whai Academy
- Whai Tribe
- Whai In-schools
- Whai Girls Got Game
- Whai Holiday Camps
- Whai ‘Learn With Us’ Events
- Whai Eliete Camps
- Whai Youth Employability Programme
- Whai Home Games in NBL and Tauihi Leagues
