Basketball

Rangitoto College proudly embraces a culture of inclusivity and excellence in basketball, fielding 32 teams in 2024 with over 330 enthusiastic students participating.

Our basketball program offers something for everyone, from casual players to highly competitive athletes, ensuring a welcoming space for all who wish to participate and/or compete. We are thrilled to have Mike Robinson returning as our Director of Basketball, bringing his wealth of experience and passion to guide us forward. With his vision to enhance both the development of our athletes and the overall basketball experience, Mike is committed to fostering a strong, connected community among players, coaches, managers, volunteers, and the wider basketball whanau. 2024 marks the start of an exciting new chapter, and under Mike’s leadership, we are confident that our basketball program will continue to thrive and reach new heights.

Our Premier boys and girls teams are guided by two highly experienced and successful coaches, Nathan Hanna and Brooke Blair, respectively. Nathan Hanna taking us to the 2024 Grand Final in the Senior Competition and Brooke Blair taking our girls through to the 2024 AA Secondary School Nationals Championships which is a first for our girls in a very long time. Both teams compete in the Auckland Secondary Schools competition, organised by College Sport, while all our other teams participate in the Harbour Basketball competition.

To cover the costs associated with College Sport registration, Harbour Sport association fees, administration fees, and equipment, a fee will be charged to the school parent portal.

Basketball uniforms, including singlets and shorts, can be purchased from the school Uniform Shop.

All teams train on our school premises. Gyms 1,2 or 3.

As we fall under the Harbour Basketball umbrella, the majority of our games are at EFS (Eventfinda Stadium)  AUT Northcote, Massey University, YMCA Northcote, Westlake Boys High School and it is the student’s responsibility to get to and from both trainings and games.

All basketball players are expected to find their own way to their basketball games

All basketball players, outside of our Premier teams, are required to purchase a Kukri singlet and a pair of Kukri shorts from the Uniform Shop.
