Wellington Basketball Association is the basketball body for Wellington, based at 72 Kemp Street in Kilbirnie, and it has run since 1980. It supports more than 3,000 players a year, from first-timers to representative players. Its website calls its adult competition New Zealand's largest adult league, and it runs midweek and Saturday grades, including premier and reserve. Children's programmes include after-school games for Years 3 to 8 and for secondary students, and a Hoop Kids league. A social college league is also run for schools. Age-group teams represent Wellington at regional and national tournaments, and selection information is posted on the website. Schools, clubs and individuals are all welcome, and the association also takes referees and coaches. Newsletters and registration reminders go out by email.
