How Basketball came to New Zealand
How Basketball came to
New Zealand
The origins of Basketball dates to 1891.
It was in the YMCA training school facility in Massachusetts, where Canadian physical educator Dr James Naismith was tasked with coming up with a game where students could play indoors.
Developed from the medieval game Duck and Rock (where you would throw rocks at a target) 13 rules were added to this game to create the basis of Basketball.
The game was spread through the Y networks (YMCA/YWCA) as well as American Mormons.
It was one of Naismith’s students that introduced Basketball to New Zealand in 1908.
He was appointed the Phys Ed Director of the Wellington branch of YMCA.
It took a decade for New Zealand to develop their own national teams, the Tall Ferns and the Tall Blacks.
In a 2018 survey conducted by Sport New Zealand, basketball was ranked one of the top 10 most popular sports in NZ.
Slam dunks in Central Lakes
In Central Otago and Lakes District of New Zealand, the popularity for the sport swelled alongside the national trend in the turn of the 20th Century.
Central Lakes Basketball was formed in 2003 (year to be confirmed) by its president Jackie and her surrounding whanau in response to the growing popularity of the sport. 6 regions were keenly wanting to participate in the Central Otago area.
- Cromwell
- Alexandra
- Ranfurly
- Roxburgh
- Wānaka
- Whakatipu
Ranfurly, being the newest region involved, these 6 special townships are jam packed with amazing talent of all ages and stages.
Jackie and her amazing team of organisers come together and create ways to get these talented teams into, competitions, championships, practices and basketball clinics for upcoming players to fine tune their skills and make them reach for the highest hoop they can.
The history of Central Otago Lakes Basketball is so rich and full because once you are in the whanau you are in it for life. Generations trickle down into the ranks starting right from 3-4 years old in the pocket rocket club to the senior teams who love to scoialise and still be a part of the game and culture.
Central Lakes Basketball = Whānau, fun and most importantly ball.

How Basketball came to New Zealand
How Basketball came to
New Zealand
The origins of Basketball dates to 1891.
It was in the YMCA training school facility in Massachusetts, where Canadian physical educator Dr James Naismith was tasked with coming up with a game where students could play indoors.
Developed from the medieval game Duck and Rock (where you would throw rocks at a target) 13 rules were added to this game to create the basis of Basketball.

It took a decade for New Zealand to develop their own national teams, the Tall Ferns and the Tall Blacks.
In a 2018 survey conducted by Sport New Zealand, basketball was ranked one of the top 10 most popular sports in NZ.
Slam dunks in Central Lakes
In Central Otago and Lakes District of New Zealand, the popularity for the sport swelled alongside the national trend in the turn of the 20th Century.
Central Lakes Basketball was formed in 2003 (year to be confirmed) by its president Jackie and her surrounding whanau in response to the growing popularity of the sport. 6 regions were keenly wanting to participate in the Central Otago area.
- Cromwell
- Alexandra
- Ranfurly
- Roxburgh
- Wānaka
- Whakatipu
Ranfurly, being the newest region involved, these 6 special townships are jam packed with amazing talent of all ages and stages.
Jackie and her amazing team of organisers come together and create ways to get these talented teams into, competitions, championships, practices and basketball clinics for upcoming players to fine tune their skills and make them reach for the highest hoop they can.
The history of Central Otago Lakes Basketball is so rich and full because once you are in the whanau you are in it for life. Generations trickle down into the ranks starting right from 3-4 years old in the pocket rocket club to the senior teams who love to scoialise and still be a part of the game and culture.
Central Lakes Basketball = Whānau, fun and most importantly ball.

Slam dunks in Central Lakes
In Central Otago and Lakes District of New Zealand, the popularity for the sport swelled alongside the national trend in the turn of the 20th Century.
Central Lakes Basketball was formed in 2003 (year to be confirmed) by its president Jackie and her surrounding whanau in response to the growing popularity of the sport. 6 regions were keenly wanting to participate in the Central Otago area.
- Cromwell
- Alexandra
- Ranfurly
- Roxburgh
- Wānaka
- Whakatipu
Ranfurly, being the newest region involved, these 6 special townships are jam packed with amazing talent of all ages and stages.
Jackie and her amazing team of organisers come together and create ways to get these talented teams into, competitions, championships, practices and basketball clinics for upcoming players to fine tune their skills and make them reach for the highest hoop they can.
The history of Central Otago Lakes Basketball is so rich and full because once you are in the whanau you are in it for life. Generations trickle down into the ranks starting right from 3-4 years old in the pocket rocket club to the senior teams who love to scoialise and still be a part of the game and culture.
Central Lakes Basketball = Whānau, fun and most importantly ball.

Jackie’s Love for Basketball
Jackie’s Love for Basketball
Jackie is the head of Central Lakes Basketball and her passion for basketball is only matched by her love for family. For her, the game is more than just a sport; it’s a way to bring people together and build a strong sense of community. With her infectious enthusiasm and dedication, she has created a family atmosphere within the teams, encouraging young players to develop their skills and reach for their highest hoop.
Jackie’s love for basketball started at a young age when she first picked up a ball and began shooting hoops with her siblings. She quickly fell in love with the game and started playing on her school’s team. As she grew older, her passion for basketball only intensified, and she began coaching and mentoring young players in her community.
For Jackie, basketball is not just about winning games or trophies; it’s about teaching valuable life lessons and building strong relationships. She believes that sports can be a powerful tool for personal growth and development, and she encourages her players to push themselves to be their best both on and off the court.
Jackie treats each player like a member of her own family and fosters a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. She encourages her players to work together, help each other out, and celebrate each other’s successes.
As part of Jackie’s whānau-cantered approach, her son, Callum has also played a key role in fostering a sense of family within the teams. He understands the importance of teamwork and collaboration, and he works hard along with his partner Sydney to ensure that every player feels supported and encouraged.
With her passion for basketball and her commitment to creating a family atmosphere, Jackie has become a beloved figure in her community. She has inspired countless young players to pursue their dreams and reach for the highest hoop, all while instilling the values of teamwork, respect, and perseverance. Through her tireless dedication and unwavering love for the game, Jackie has left an incredible mark on Central Lakes Basketball and the lives of all those who have had the pleasure of playing for her.

Jackie and her amazing team of organisers come together and create ways to get these talented teams into, competitions, championships, practices and basketball clinics for upcoming players to fine tune their skills and make them reach for the highest hoop they can.
The history of Central Otago Lakes Basketball is so rich and full because once you are in the whanau you are in it for life. Generations trickle down into the ranks starting right from 3-4 years old in the pocket rocket club to the senior teams who love to scoialise and still be apart of the game and culture.
Central Lakes Basketball = Whanau, fun and most importantly ball.

How Basketball came to
New Zealand
The origins of Basketball dates to 1891.
It was in the YMCA training school facility in Massachusetts, where Canadian physical educator Dr James Naismith was tasked with coming up with a game where students could play indoors.
Developed from the medieval game Duck and Rock (where you would throw rocks at a target) 13 rules were added to this game to create the basis of Basketball.
The game was spread through the Y networks (YMCA/YWCA) as well as American Mormons.
It was one of Naismith’s students that introduced Basketball to New Zealand in 1908.
He was appointed the Phys Ed Director of the Wellington branch of YMCA.
It took a decade for New Zealand to develop their own national teams, the Tall Ferns and the Tall Blacks.
In a 2018 survey conducted by Sport New Zealand, basketball was ranked one of the top 10 most popular sports in NZ.

Central Lakes Basketball was formed in 2003 (year to be confirmed) by its president Jackie and her surrounding whanau in response to the growing popularity of the sport. 6 regions were keenly wanting to participate in the Central Otago area.
- Cromwell
- Alexandra
- Ranfurly
- Roxburgh
- Wanaka
- Whakatipu
Ranfurly, being the newest region involved, these 6 special townships are jam packed with amazing talent of all ages and stages.
Jackie and her amazing team of organisers come together and create ways to get these talented teams into, competitions, championships, practices and basketball clinics for upcoming players to fine tune their skills and make them reach for the highest hoop they can.
The history of Central Otago Lakes Basketball is so rich and full because once you are in the whanau you are in it for life. Generations trickle down into the ranks starting right from 3-4 years old in the pocket rocket club to the senior teams who love to scoialise and still be apart of the game and culture.
Central Lakes Basketball = Whanau, fun and most importantly ball.

How Basketball came to New Zealand
How Basketball came to
New Zealand
The origins of Basketball dates to 1891.
It was in the YMCA training school facility in Massachusetts, where Canadian physical educator Dr James Naismith was tasked with coming up with a game where students could play indoors.
Developed from the medieval game Duck and Rock (where you would throw rocks at a target) 13 rules were added to this game to create the basis of Basketball.
The game was spread through the Y networks (YMCA/YWCA) as well as American Mormons.
It was one of Naismith’s students that introduced Basketball to New Zealand in 1908.
He was appointed the Phys Ed Director of the Wellington branch of YMCA.
It took a decade for New Zealand to develop their own national teams, the Tall Ferns and the Tall Blacks.
In a 2018 survey conducted by Sport New Zealand, basketball was ranked one of the top 10 most popular sports in NZ.

Slam dunks in Central Lakes
In Central Otago and Lakes District of New Zealand, the popularity for the sport swelled alongside the national trend in the turn of the 20th Century.
Central Lakes Basketball was formed in 2003 (year to be confirmed) by its president Jackie and her surrounding whanau in response to the growing popularity of the sport. 6 regions were keenly wanting to participate in the Central Otago area.
- Cromwell
- Alexandra
- Ranfurly
- Roxburgh
- Wanaka
- Whakatipu
Ranfurly, being the newest region involved, these 6 special townships are jam packed with amazing talent of all ages and stages.
Jackie and her amazing team of organisers come together and create ways to get these talented teams into, competitions, championships, practices and basketball clinics for upcoming players to fine tune their skills and make them reach for the highest hoop they can.
The history of Central Otago Lakes Basketball is so rich and full because once you are in the whanau you are in it for life. Generations trickle down into the ranks starting right from 3-4 years old in the pocket rocket club to the senior teams who love to scoialise and still be apart of the game and culture.
Central Lakes Basketball = Whanau, fun and most importantly ball.
