Steven Adams BasketballWe had a group of tamariki travel to Whāngārei for the Steven Adams basketball camp last Saturday 24th of August. The morning involved workshops for 150 plus children who rotated and did basketball drills being taught by various basketball coaches throughout the north. It was a magical day for our tamariki who got to see, laugh and be defended at the goal by Steven Adams. Student voice: “wow he is really tall”, I was surprised how tall he was and at all the people there”, “ We got some cool stuff like Steven Adams Basketball and shirt. All thanks to Te Hau Ora Kaikohe and Taal Smith for giving our tamariki a rare opportunity and an awesome experience.
