Basketball in New Zealand

A game we know from the inside

Book this tour Get a sample itinerary

School basketball tours in New Zealand and overseas, planned by people who know the game from the inside. Cole spent time as general manager of the Taranaki Airs, and basketball has toured New Zealand with us as part of a school group from Buenos Aires. We plan basketball the way we plan every code: games against school and club sides at your level, gym time between them, and the two teams together afterwards. If you are thinking about the United States, that is a newer destination for us and we plan each tour there from scratch. Tell us what you are after and we will be honest about what we can line up.

New Zealand is where we live and where every relationship we have started. Since 2019 we have hosted school and club groups from Argentina here, often with several sports on the one tour: rugby, hockey, volleyball, basketball and handball. Most tours run through the North Island. Rotorua for geothermal country and a Māori cultural evening, Hawke's Bay and Wellington for games and the capital's museums, then home to Taranaki, where your team trains and plays under the mountain. Every match day ends the same way, with presentations and time with the host team. Geoff and Cole plan it and run it in person. Tell us your sports, your level and your dates and we will shape the route around them.

Before you ask

Questions, answered

How much does a tour cost?

Every tour is quoted individually because every tour is built around your team — sport, level, dates and budget. Tell us what a great trip looks like and we will come back with an honest price and a first draft itinerary.

Can we customise our itinerary?

Yes — no two tours are the same. Every Brock Sports tour starts with your team, your sport and your goals, and we build it with you, fixture by fixture.

What is included in the price?

Every quote sets it out plainly. A typical tour covers games, training, accommodation, transport, breakfasts and dinners, and the cultural and sightseeing programme. Lunches and personal travel insurance are usually separate, and we will spell out anything else that is.

Which meals are included?

Breakfasts and dinners are included as standard. Lunches are usually at your own cost, so players can choose for themselves.

What happens if the weather turns?

We adjust the day and offer a suitable alternative wherever we can. It is New Zealand, so we plan with the weather in mind.

Do you run multi sport school tours?

Yes, it is the tour we run most. Recent school groups have travelled with rugby, hockey and volleyball teams together, and with rugby, basketball, hockey and handball. Boys and girls teams tour as one party and play on the same days where we can.
