HISTORY

Franklin Basketball was first established in 2009 (Incorporated 2012) when Jamie Reddish and Trent Iuli realised that there was a huge gap in the basketball opportunities provided in the Franklin district. At the time there were no basketball programs or clubs being run and those who wished to play basketball had to seek programs based more than an hours drive away.

They first established a program where players were taught the fundamental basketball skills (now called Hoopsters), as the numbers grew they were able to begin running a league and provide opportunities to play regular games (now called Junior Club League). Since the establishment of the Teamsters league, Franklin Basketball has experienced exponential growth which has led to programs based out of both Pukekohe and Waiuku. Primary/Intermediate player numbers in 2017 reached over 250 players alone, the Secondary Schools league which has reached its capacity the last two years had 33 teams entered during Terms 2 & 3.

Franklin Basketball has been predominately led by Jamie Reddish in the position of General Manager along with other coaches and admin staff.
