Welcome to Central Regional Basketball Foundation

We use basketball as a powerful platform to empower young people, strengthen communities, and remove barriers to participation across the Central region.

Through high-quality in-school programmes, junior pathways, academies, coaching development, and community initiatives, we create accessible opportunities for tamariki and rangatahi to learn, play, and grow, regardless of background, ability, or circumstance. Our programmes are designed to support physical wellbeing, confidence, teamwork, and lifelong skills, while also reinforcing positive educational and social outcomes.

At CRBF, basketball is more than a game. It’s a vehicle for connection, belonging, and growth. We focus on building healthy, resilient, and confident young people who contribute positively to their whānau, schools, and wider communities, shaping not just better players, but better futures.
