The North Canterbury Basketball's Girls Got Game Programme is a collaboration with Basketball New Zealand and Sport Canterbury's Tū Manawa Fund. It aims to engage young girls in basketball and encourage them to continue being active and enjoy basketball with their friends. Run by the best female coaches and Wildcats in NC, its major advantage over mixed programmes is its focus on girls.
