Para Sticks 'Adapted' Hockey 3's!

Working alongside Rosehill School, Satellite schools and BLENNZ (Blind & Low Vision Network NZ) Tamariki and Rangatahi), Counties Manukau Hockey delivered the Para Sticks Adaptive Hockey program. 

This kaupapa, proudly supported by Tu Manawa Active Aotearoa funding - is a safe & interactive way of motivating and encouraging our disabled rangatahi to lead healthy, active lives through Hockey. 

The activities are designed to help students build self-confidence, self-awareness, self-esteem and strong social interactions with their friends and other groups. While certainly a challenge, the overall goal is to have some fun. 

This kaupapa also includes some training for staff and carers - who are encouraged to participate and engage in the learning and development process. The idea here is for them to leave with the confidence to continue delivering Hockey at the conclusion of this initiative.
