House of Hoopz 2026: Free community basketball events across Christchurch
YCD are excited to share House of Hoopz 2026 - a series of FREE community basketball events happening across Christchurch over the coming months.
House of Hoopz is all about bringing our local communities together through sport, connection, and fun. These events are open to young people, with the chance for local winners to progress through to the House of Hoopz Final.
Event locations and dates:
- Thursday 29th January – Papanui,
- Sunday 15th February – Belfast (Fresh in the Park),
- Sunday 22nd February – Hoon Hay,
- Sunday 1st March – Linwood,
- Saturday 7th March – Hornby (Hello Hornby), and
- Sunday 15th March – New Brighton Finals Day
Winners from each event will advance to the Grand Final on Sunday 15th March in New Brighton, competing for the title of House of Hoopz Champions 2026.
Teams do not need to be from the areas where the competitions are held, though it would be great to see players representing and supporting those local communities.
This is a great opportunity for our Pacific young people to stay active, connect with others, and represent their communities in a positive, supportive environment. We encourage families, friends, and community members to come along and support.
