We have a number of clubs in the Canterbury Region who provide opportunities for people to play, coach, officiate and manage teams.

Tier One Clubs aim to provide a pathway from miniball (Year 3/4) all the way up to senior level players, and have teams for both male and females

• Checkers (North-Western area of Christchurch)
• Gators (Western area of Christchurch)
• North Canterbury (Region north of the Waimakariri River)
• Pioneer (Southern area of Christchurch)

We are working with the following clubs to tie in all of their pathway to become a tier one club as well:

• Atami (Based around Shirley/Avonside – historically men’s teams, but introduced female teams in 2021)
• Lincoln University and Selwyn Basketball (Selwyn District)
• Wolverines and Lions (Clubs based in the Eastern Area of Christchurch, entering adult and junior teams respectively)

Our Other Clubs currently serve a smaller section of our community:

• University of Canterbury (teams entered in U20 grades and above – both males and females)
• Halswell (women’s teams only)
• Royals (club based for players near Cowles Stadium)
• Minties (women’s teams only)
• Eastern Kahu (13&U teams for players who are planning to attend Shirley Boys’ or Avonside Girls’) – this is the junior arm of the Atami club

Lastly, over 80% of schools that cater for Years 9-13 are involved in our competitions, and/or aligned with one of the clubs linked above. Please contact your Sports Coordinator at school to find out how to get involved there.
