Meet Coach Tommy
Aka Zack’s brother, Kaha Club coach, and New Zealand's 200m record holder...
Tommy Te Puni brings a serious mix of speed, sport and experience to Kaha Club.
As one of New Zealand’s top sprinters and the national 200m record holder, Tommy knows what it takes to train and compete at an elite level. Alongside athletics, he came through Rangitoto College and played in the Premier Boys basketball programme, as well as being selected for the New Zealand U17 basketball squad.
Tommy eventually made the decision to focus on track, but his love for basketball never went away. Now, he’s excited to bring that experience back into his coaching.
At Kaha Club, Tommy brings his sprinting background onto the court, helping players turn speed, footwork and explosiveness into real basketball advantages.
His sessions are practical, high-energy and built around helping young athletes move better, play faster and compete with confidence.
From Rangitoto Prems to national records, Tommy brings an elite athlete mindset to every session.
