This awesome team of young men now need to raise over $10,000 in less than 3 weeks to attend this tournament - a pretty tall order.

This is a team of 12 incredibly hard working, motivated young men (aged 15 - 18 yrs old), who should all feel incredibly proud of the mahi they've put in, the superb sportsmanship they have demonstrated throughout the season and the awesome team culture they have.

To support this cause by making a donation please follow the link below to our givealittle page. Thank you!

If any businesses or major sponsors would like recognition we would be happy to add your name and logo to our poster and in school publications - just contact the Nayland College business center.

Our thanks in advance on behalf of Nayland College Basketball.
