Finals Update for our open men’s 🏀

A tough result for our Open Men’s team today, going down in the final. While the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, we are incredibly proud of the effort, determination, and heart the boys showed throughout the tournament.

They represented our team, families, and community with pride, giving everything they had on the court. Thank you to everyone who supported and encouraged the team along the way.

Congratulations to the winners, and well done to our boys on an outstanding campaign. 💙🏀👏

🏆 Champions! 🏆

What an incredible way to finish the tournament! Our boys came away with the Finals victory and are officially Champions! 💪🏽🏀

We are so proud of the effort, determination, teamwork, and sportsmanship shown throughout the week. The boys represented themselves, their families, and our community with pride both on and off the court.

A huge thank you to all the parents, supporters, coaches, managers, and everyone who helped make this experience possible. Special thanks to our hosts and the families who welcomed and supported the team during our time in Samoa.

This has been an unforgettable journey filled with new experiences, friendships, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Champions on the court, brothers for life. ❤️🏀🇼🇸

Sunday in Samoa 🇼🇸

Our boys made it to church this morning in Fasito’o and were blessed to share in fellowship with the local community. Grateful for the warm hospitality and the experiences being created on this tour.

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support and look after our team while we’re here in Samoa. 🙏🏽❤️🏀

Another great day here in Samoa for the Independence celebrations 🇼🇸

This morning our teams proudly marched in the Sports Parade as part of the Independence festivities. After the parade, the boys headed out to the beautiful village of Fasito’o where they experienced village life by helping prepare the umu, enjoyed a swim at the local waterhole, and shared lunch together in the village.

An awesome cultural experience and great memories being made both on and off the court. Grateful for the hospitality and opportunity for our boys to connect with the people and culture of Samoa ❤️🏀

A massive thank you to Aiono Sefo’s family for welcoming and hosting our boys today. Your kindness, generosity, and hospitality are truly appreciated by us all! 🙏

March day for all sports participants

A special acknowledgement and heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in Monday’s gifting and traditional ava (kava) ceremony. It was an honour for our teams to experience such beautiful Samoan hospitality, culture, and support during our time on the island. 🇼🇸🏀

Since then, both our teams have continued to battle hard throughout the tournament, showing great teamwork, resilience, and pride in every game played so far.

We are extremely proud to announce that BOTH our teams have officially made it through to the FINALS to be played next Monday! 🙌🔥

What an amazing achievement and experience for all involved. Thank you to all the families, supporters, organisers, and communities backing our teams throughout this journey. The boys are loving every moment of this opportunity and are ready to finish strong next week!
