Amazing work from our graduate Maia!

Maia is Berlin bound! 🇩🇪

Maia Williamson has been selected as one of just four global candidates for the “She Calls Game” campaign - part of FIBA’s commitment to empowering women in sports media, where she’ll take part in the commentary.

An incredible achievement to see our wahine on the world stage, and a reflection of the work she’s put in across local and national age-grade tournaments over the years.

Maia heads off to Berlin this September, go well Maia! 🖤
