Basketball at St Paul’s is built on a foundation of holistic athlete development and inclusivity, offering opportunities for players of all levels to thrive. The programme emphasises skill development, tactical understanding, and mental tools such as mindfulness, empowering athletes to become high-IQ decision-makers both on and off the court.
Guided by St Paul’s values and tikanga, including whanaungatanga (relationships), manaakitanga (respect), and kotahitanga (unity), the programme fosters a culture of teamwork, accountability, and determination.
Training session times vary with morning, afternoon, lunchtime and weekend options to cater to both competitive and social athletes.
