Our New Code of Conduct

Basketball New Zealand has taken a major step forward in creating a safe, fair, and inclusive environment for everyone involved in basketball. We’re proud to introduce our new Code of Conduct, a values-based framework that sets clear expectations for behaviour on and off the court. 

The Code is built on Basketball New Zealand’s three guiding values: 

  • Mana (Respect): Treat everyone with fairness, dignity, and care. 
  • Tika (Integrity): Do the right thing, play fair, and act responsibly. 
  • Hono (Connected): Work together to build strong, inclusive connections. 

This Code applies to everyone in our basketball community; players, coaches, referees, volunteers, staff, and supporters. It’s about fostering a culture where respect, integrity, and connection are at the heart of the game, and ensuring basketball remains a sport where everyone feels welcome and respected.

Together, let’s make basketball stronger for everyone.
