Basketball New Zealand Award nominations open

Basketball New Zealand is now calling for nominations for the Basketball New Zealand Awards celebrating the 2019 year.

The Awards Dinner will be held at Te Papa’s Te Marae on Friday 8 May 2020, celebrating the achievements of both individuals and teams from this past year. 

In addition to the usual list of awards, there are two new awards listed this year: the Young Official of the Year Award and Star Award. The Star Award acknowledges a special individual who has been of great service to the game.

The Services to Coaching Award and Ian Goodwin Services to Officiating Award have also had criteria changes. Sal’s National Basketball League, Women’s Basketball Championship and International games will be included in the criteria when judgement is made for the awards.

BBNZ encourages associations to nominate hard-working figures in their basketball community to reward them for all of their efforts. Award recipients will receive a funded trip to the collective celebration.

Nominations for the awards are to be made through BBNZ website and close on 6 March.
