Basketball New Zealand and NCSA have partnered to provide more of our aspiring athletes with a pathway to academic and athletic success in the US.

This partnership also allows Basketball New Zealand to award 25 Kiwi athletes with NCSA’s All In Award. Every NCSA All In Award recipient will receive complimentary access to an NCSA's MVP Membership which is NCSA’s most intensive recruiting membership with highly personalized support and guidance. 

North Canterbury Basketball was allocated an "All In Award", of which Mason Whittaker has received this award!

Mason grew up in Cust in a basketball-loving family, and has played for North Canterbury Basketball across all age groups and programs. Most recently, Mason's development and play were rewarded as he was a member of the 2020 Canterbury Rams squad.

As part of the BBNZ Partnership, NCBA has been allocated a Team account in which we can load athletes into the NCSA recruiting system via their NCSAs Free Profile, or if athletes that have joined one of NCSA's membership accounts. For more information on this, and to be involved please contact George Robinson, development@northcanterbury.basketball

Congratulations Mason and we look forward to following your basketball journey stateside.
