Our 2023 Girls U13s Coach, Lauren Cahill, will be leading these sessions with the support from other coaches involved in our longstanding basketball club. 

Lauren has many years of coaching experience as well as undertaking basketball refereeing from an early age. She has refereed CBA Premier level as well as being nominated to travel to NZ Secondary Schools, NZ U19 Nationals and NZ U23’s Nationals. In 2021, Lauren undertook coaching one of our junior girls’ teams to help grow the female basketball pathway for the Club. Having played representative basketball up to U20’s herself, paired with her referee knowledge, she loves passing those skills on to the future girls in the sport she is very passionate about.
