TUPU League
A regionally focused basketball league, with national finals, to encourage representative players to continue playing for their associations after they finish Secondary School and/or University.
This league provides a platform of competitive basketball to bridge the gap between U20 Nationals and the NBL/Tauihi leagues
- The TUPU League is not about elite or HP competition (that is for NBL and Tauihi).
- The TUPU League is there to provide a competitive option for those who miss out on those leagues and bridges a gap that is currently seeing basketballers hang up their boots.
- The TUPU League is in place to encourage participation in the gap between U20 or age group reps, and NBL or Tauihi basketball.
- TUPU League is about participation and providing a safe place for those with a competitive edge to continue playing.
- All associations are eligible to enter, whether they have senior teams or not.
