For decades, basketball in Gisborne has been shaped by its community.

From the historic YMCA courts to schools and local venues across Tairāwhiti, GBA has created space for people to play, compete, and belong. The game has grown, evolved, and welcomed new pathways, from grassroots miniball to adult grades.

Grounded in strong community connections and led by people who live the game every day, GBA is here to support basketball at every level, and for everyone who wants to be part of it
