About Us:

Flightless No More.

Mission Statement: At Moa Basketball, our mission is to empower young athletes to soar beyond their limits. Inspired by the moa, a bird once flightless yet full of untapped potential, we teach kids aged 4–14 to overcome challenges, embrace growth, and unleash their full potential both on and off the court. Through teamwork, perseverance, and a love for the game, we aim to nurture confidence, resilience, and a winning mindset in every child who joins our academy.

At Moa, we believe The Next Generation Takes Flight.
