Basketball Papua New Guinea (BPNG), in collaboration with FIBA Oceania, has successfully concluded a dynamic three-day strategy session focused on reviewing and strengthening its operational and program delivery frameworks.
Led by BPNG President David Peter, the federation continues to gain traction with its commitment to holistic basketball development.
The organization’s approach balances the physical and mental aspects of the sport, empowering athletes with strong fundamentals while paving the way toward elite performance through close coordination with FIBA Oceania.
At the heart of BPNG’s long-term vision is its flagship community platform, Basketball for Good—a movement that harnesses the power of basketball to drive outcomes in education, health and wellbeing, gender equality, and community unity.
Key initiatives under Basketball for Good include:
- Hoops for Health
- .Pikinini Hoops
- Mum’s a Hero
- Twilight Basketball
Each program fosters inclusive, high-quality basketball experiences while encouraging healthier lifestyles and stronger community engagement across Papua New Guinea.
During the strategy session, FIBA Oceania representatives Mr. Siale Bina Vete and Mr. Lai Pamaua engaged with BPNG executives to share insights on leadership, governance, and the evolving responsibilities of a national federation.
Their input reinforced the commitment to improving internal structures and creating sustainable pathways for the sport’s continued growth.
This collaboration is supported by Team Up, an Australian Government initiative that empowers regional sports organizations through targeted development and strategic partnerships.
