A game we know from the inside
Why tour with your basketball squad
School basketball tours in New Zealand and overseas, planned by people who know the game from the inside. Cole spent time as general manager of the Taranaki Airs, and basketball has toured New Zealand with us as part of a school group from Buenos Aires. We plan basketball the way we plan every code: games against school and club sides at your level, gym time between them, and the two teams together afterwards. If you are thinking about the United States, that is a newer destination for us and we plan each tour there from scratch. Tell us what you are after and we will be honest about what we can line up.
From the road
Real basketball moments
Opposition and level
Competition that fits your squad
Every basketball tour is built around competitive fixtures against local sides, matched to where your team sits. Opposition that stretches without mismatching, and training that sticks.

Argentina
The country we know best after our own. Most of the teams we host in New Zealand come from Buenos Aires, so this is where our closest friendships are.

United States
School and college sport on a scale you have to see. A newer destination for us, planned from scratch around each team.

Canada
British Columbia, where school rugby and hockey matter and the mountains run down to the sea. We have people on the ground and tours ready to shape.
View Basketball tour
Australia
School sports tours to Australia: a short flight and a proper test, with games up the east coast from Sydney to Brisbane. Works for a first trip away.
View Basketball tour
Chile
Over the Andes from Argentina. We plan Chile as part of a two country South American tour, with Santiago between the mountains and the sea.
View Basketball tour
Uruguay
A ferry ride from Buenos Aires. Montevideo adds a second country, a second style of opposition and a slower pace to an Argentine tour.

South Africa
One of the great school sport countries. We do not run a fixed programme here, so every South African tour starts with a conversation.

Before you ask
Questions, answered
How are fixtures matched?
Tell us where your team sits and we match opposition that stretches them and builds confidence, never a mismatch.
Can we customise our itinerary?
Yes — no two tours are the same. Every Brock Sports tour starts with your team, your sport and your goals, and we build it with you, fixture by fixture.
When are our games confirmed?
Game times and venues are confirmed with the host schools and clubs at least three weeks before you leave, and the final sports schedule is issued at least two weeks out. Hosts can still need to move things, and we manage that for you.
What happens if the weather turns?
We adjust the day and offer a suitable alternative wherever we can. It is New Zealand, so we plan with the weather in mind.
Do you run multi sport school tours?
Yes, it is the tour we run most. Recent school groups have travelled with rugby, hockey and volleyball teams together, and with rugby, basketball, hockey and handball. Boys and girls teams tour as one party and play on the same days where we can.
Where is the best place for a school netball tour?
Australia and New Zealand have the deepest school and club netball in the world, and they are the tours we would plan first. South Africa is the other great netball country, and a tour there starts with a conversation. Netball is a newer code for us, so we will tell you plainly what we can line up for your grade.
