Institute of Growth Basketball is a youth basketball club, trading as Beyond Basketball, for players aged 5 to 16 across East and Central Auckland. The club's venues include Point View, Pakuranga, Somerville and Epsom, and its base is listed at Wai O Taiki Bay. It offers weekly development classes sorted by age and level, school programmes and school teams, holiday camps, and competitive representative teams that play in tournaments and leagues.
The club's coaching focuses on footwork, ball handling, shooting, court vision and game understanding, with a strong emphasis on attitude, effort and respect. Players are asked to arrive on time with basketball shoes and water, to listen when coaches speak, and to keep working when drills get hard. Parents can contact the coaching directors to find the right squad for a child, to book a trial session, or to ask for programme details.
The club's 2026 term 3 page says spots were limited.
