The panel came to the conclusion that neither of the groups should gain funding. The Red Cross did not fit in the age bracket criteria at 12 and under, and the panel did not feel it necessary to fund the charity ball as it was felt unfair to not fund the balls of other schools. This was also due to the conflict of interest.

New Zealand Koru Development Tour 2017

Report by Keilym Pari

I would like to take this time to thank all those who supported me to attend this year’s New Zealand Koru Development Tour to Albury, Australia. Thank you for acknowledging my ability by providing financial support towards my tour costs.

This is my second year attending the NZ Koru Development Tour, my first year I was selected to play in the Under 14 Boys squad in 2015. This year I was selected as a member of the NZ Kea Under 16 Boys team. I was chosen as the team captain which was a privilege and honour, it enabled me to share my knowledge and be a role model to my fellow team mates. Me departing Palmerston North Airport outbound to Auckland On Tour...

Our tour group consisted of 136 athletes, coaches, managers, and referees. We all met at Auckland International Airport, boarded the plane outbound to Melbourne, Australia and travelled by coach to Albury.

The next four days we spent in training camp. The training was intense and the weather was very hot, and humid. After two days of training camp the teams were selected NZ Kea and NZ Weka. I was selected to play in the NZ Kea team and was named the Team Captain. My coach was Terry Tanoa and our team manager was Nicola Post.

Prior to the Tour we only had 1 group training in Hamilton, New Zealand. All athletes were given a training programme to follow. For most of us this was the first-time playing together.

Game time – Pool plays…

The tournament began with an opening ceremony, New Zealand had to sing waiata and the boys done the Haka.

Both NZ teams were split into two different pools during the first 3 days of the competition. In my pool, we had Tasmanian Tigers, South Australian Sharks, Victorian Goldminers, and the New South Wales Warratahs.

Game Them Us 1: NZ Kea vs Tasmanian Tigers A very good team who played Still getting used to playing well as a team. together. Still learning how each other plays and our positions. Great effort. Result Loss: 44 – 68 2: NZ Kea vs South Australian This team were good! They Lacked team cohesions. Sharks played as a team and could shoot and score from anywhere on the court. Result Loss: 48 – 110 3: NZ Kea vs Victorian Even better than the SA Sharks. Started playing well as a team Goldminers Rarely missed a shot. Defence but the skills and discipline of turned over a lot of ball. the Victorian team were too much for us. Result Loss: 25 – 123 4: NZ Kea vs New South Wales Great team. Determined to not give up, to Warratahs play hard until the end. Worked well on our defence. Started to pull together some offensive plays. An overall great game. Result Loss: 59 – 68

The cross over…

At the end of the pool plays we played cross over matches.

Game Them Us 1: NZ Kea vs Tasmania Devils Stolen by the second half the A hard-fought match especially Tas. Devils stepped up the in the first half. Played well tempo and came away with the together as a team. Started to win. gel offensively. Team bond started to form. Result Loss: 48 – 95

2: NZ Kea vs NZ Weka Played with great enthusiasm. Played with great enthusiasm. Couldn’t sink the baskets. Made a lot of shots but didn’t execute. Gave too many balls away. Result Loss: 70 – 83 3: NZ Kea vs Tasmanian Tigers Played great as a team. Knew what we had to do and executed the plan perfectly winning our first game of the tournament. Result Win: 63 – 53 4: NZ Kea vs NZ Weka Awesome team only this time Determined to win and finish unlucky. our tournament on a high note. Managed to pull it off in the final quarter. Result Win: 43 – 30

My team finished the tournament in 7th place.

Learnings…

Being named Team Captain was a little overwhelming at first but gave me great confidence to share my knowledge and ability with the other athletes. I learnt how to communicate as a leader and lead by example. There was a massive amount of talent and I was, able to be a part of it and I met and made a lot more friends.

Where to from here…

I am a year 11 Senior student attending MANUKURA a designated special character school for high performance sports and academics. I am currently trialling for the Under 17 Boys Representative Basketball Team for Manawatu. I am a member of the MANUKURA Senior Premier Basketball Team and have been selected to play in the U15 Boys Sir Gordon Tietjens Sevens Tournament for MANUKURA. I will be training hard this year and studying towards NCEA.

Once again thank you for all the support that you have given me.

Attn:$600ship Project Group, Whanganui District Council Youth Committee

Tena Koe,

On behalf of myself and my whanau I would like to thank you and share with you my experience while participating in the Basketball Pacific Koru Under 14 Girls Team, the tournament was based in Melbourne 16th 22nd of January called the Australia Basketball Cup. I was based in Australia from the 11th- 15th January for an intense five day training camp with a team of 96 players. We had two teams I was selected for the U14 Girls Kea NZ team to compete in the tournament. Day 1: We only had one game it was a good first start for our team to try our moves. Different combination on the court. Day 2: We had 2 games we lost these to very good teams but only by a few shots. We had to get back to the basis of playing our own game. Day 3: We had 2 more games won one and lost one. They were very competitive teams in our grade. We had to play defensively well and our own shots we had to work together. Day 4 We made it to the quarter final game against Weka and won which put us in the semi final game for our grade. We lost that game but overall we come 3rd our of 12 teams. It was a great achievement for our team. With your financial assistance it has helped me achieve my goal of attending and playing in this tournament. This experience has had a massive impact and I will be working hard again this year to achieve more goals that I set as a sportsperson. Thanks you for supporting me in this journey. Here are a few images of my experience.
