The draw for the first five rounds of our flagship High School Basketball Competitions has just been released
The published draw all the way up until June 15 can be seen here
There are some games that need their date/time/location finalised, but the bulk of the draw is there for you all to see.
With our games expected to be played under Alert Level One conditions, there won’t be a requirement from us for schools to manage the number of spectators, or contact trace, with the Government’s NZ COVID Tracer app the preferred method for the general public to keep a record of where they visit.
