Programmes we support
Brown Pride & Next Gen CrossFit
Rangatahi from five kura in the Counties Manukau region came together for the inaugural Next Gen CrossFit Competition presented by Brown Pride.
The idea was born out of a discussion at our National School Sport Conference held in Wellington 2022, where our Sports Directors and Coordinators from our region along with our Regional Sports Directors facilitated to explore ways of introducing more young people to functional fitness. Forward to 2025, the RSDs had identified with our Maori Kura to pilot the opportunity as they did not get as many opportunities along with mainstream secondary schools to try a recreation sport like Crossfit.
Bomb Squad Manu Clinic
Bomb Squad has been successfully running the Manu Clinic at Otahuhu Pools & Leisure. Teaching skills to manu like a pro alongside water safety skills to whanau of all ages.
South Auckland Adventure Programme
An exciting initiative funded by Trillian Trust and delivered in colalboration with Vector Wero Whitewater Rafting. 2019 provided the opportunity for over 500 Pacific Island, Maori and Indian males within the South Auckland area to increase water safety awareness with the intent of reducing drowning statistics through education. In 2020, further funding was received to expand and scale up the programme to also include women and girls, whanau and males across diverse settings.
Ōtara BMX Programme
What better way to connect with our young people than through fun, skills, and kai right in their hood? The awesome team at Ōtara Bike Burb are running a Tū Manawa funded BMX programme for tamariki and rangatahi in and around the Ōtara Kai Village and town centre – teaching bike skills, building confidence, and creating great vibes in the community.
