WHAT
The ABSL Run & Gun Club Challenge is a tournament held at the end of each school term. This year we are inviting ALL Basketball Clubs (Affiliated and Non affiliated) across Auckland to enter teams in the U9, U11, U13 & U15 age groups to compete for the title of Run & Gun Club Champions! The games are quickfire, held in 20 minute time slots in a round robin competition.
We want to grow and strengthen club basketball, so this year we will also be running Club Development Workshops throughout the day for all Club parents, volunteers, managers etc.
