More than a game.
Poituukohu connects Māori through whakapapa, whānau, te ahurea Māori and competition - on the court, across Aotearoa and abroad
OUR REACH
Our kaupapa embeds te reo Māori me ōna tikanga, whakapapa, iwi representation and whanaungatanga into the basketball experience.
It is multigenerational by nature - tamariki, mātua, aunties, uncles, siblings and cousins can all represent their people within the same kaupapa.Teams
