Jordan Mills: Wellington Saints CEO on the continued growth of basketball in New Zealand, and the lack of courts

New statistics show basketball's unprecedented growth in New Zealand has continued, and the sport is tipped to become the most popular secondary school sport in the country by 2026.  Basketball participation has surged by 61% since the year 2000, while more traditional sports like netball, rugby, and cricket have seen a decline in numbers.  But it's estimated New Zealand is around 500 basketball courts short to cope with demand.  Wellington Saints CEO Jordan Mills joined Adam Cooper to provide an insight into the sport's growth —and court availability— in the Wellington region.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
