KBA Coaches

At Kaipara Basketball, we are incredibly grateful for our dedicated team of volunteer coaches who help grow the game in our community. Kalem Tana is working as a coach developer for KBA, supporting and developing our current coaches to ensure they have the tools and confidence to guide our players.

We have (and need) coaches at multiple levels, including representative teams (U12, U14, U16, U18) and local league teams, such as the Kaipara Youth Competition and the Primary School Competition.

While all our coaches currently volunteer their time, their commitment and passion are the backbone of our basketball community. We are always looking for ways to support and develop our coaches so they can continue to make a positive impact on our players.
