Whai Basketball Seeks Volunteers As Pathways GrowWhai Basketball is calling for more volunteers to help deliver game-day experiences while continuing to create pathways for young Bay of Plenty players to pursue professional basketball careers without leaving Tauranga. "We're about much more than professional basketball," Adam says. Whai players also visit schools throughout the year, introducing children to basketball and showing them they can build a future in the sport while staying in Tauranga.

Volunteer Vivek says joining Whai has helped him stay connected with basketball while becoming part of the Whai whānau.
