What is Midnight Basketball?

Midnight Basketball is Canterbury Basketball’s signature teen program running on Friday nights during Term 1 and Term 4. The programme’s goal is to provide a safe, welcoming space for teens to spend their Friday nights. This program is FREE. We focus on promoting activity, fun, and community while offering some fantastic perks:

  • Led by Bob Weatherford (Avonside Girls’ Head Coach, 2025 Canterbury U20 Women’s Head Coach, Part of the 2025 Mainland Pouākai Staff)
  • Free BBQ for all participants.
  • Music to keep the vibes alive.
  • Rides home on the Eastside of town, ensuring everyone gets home safely.

This is more than basketball – it’s a place to connect, have fun, and stay active in a safe and inclusive environment.
