Being a basketball whānau is a commitment 🏀
The driving, waiting, cheering, snacks, and sideline emails.
Four hours goes fast when the gym is full of kids giving it a go.
Thanks for showing up with us.
It’s been a while since we’ve had a highlight reel 😅🏀
Here’s our 4–7 year olds out West having a bit of game time.
Doesn’t matter if it hits the rim, the net, the wall, or somehow finds its way back to Coach… this is an effort matters zone above all else 😄

Term 2 started with a little outdoor plot twist today 🏀☀️
See you tomorrow, Skillset Basketball Wellington and North Shore!
No cookie-cutter coaches over here. 🏀🥊
Introducing Coach Purcell.
A baller, a boxer, and now part of our Skillset crew out West — with editing skills to match. Purcell personally put this video together to say hi to our whānau.
And I’ve got to say, we’re pretty happy to have another Samāori on the team too.
West Auckland, we’ll see you this Saturday.
Bring a whānau member or friend along — there’s always room for one more on court.

We spy a number 4 👀🏀
Which means only 4 days till tip off for Term 2!
New players, returning players, shy first-timers, and basketball-mad kids — we’d love to see you on court.

Meet Coach Nick 🏀
Nick coaches with our North Shore crew at Pinehurst — which also happens to be where he goes to school.
He may be the youngest on the team, but don’t let that fool you. Coach Nick is one of our kids’ absolute favourites. When players get to choose who they want to work with, Nick is usually right at the top of the list.
He’s a leader at heart, always encouraging players to learn, grow, and bounce back from their mistakes.
Hit play to hear a little more from Nick himself.
Think you caught it? Comment the time in the video where Nick says “eyes here” to go in the draw to win a pair of Skillset Basketball shorts 👀🏀
