Age Group Development and Festivals 2022

In line with Balance is Better , Sport NZ and Hockey New Zealand strategies, our development sessions and festivals replace the traditional representative programmes and are designed to be quality experiences, inclusive, fun and rewarding.   Recognising a large reduction in the number of youth participants across all sporting codes, Balance is Better aims to encourage greater participation with player centric programmes,  encourage multiple code participation, removes early specialisation and high performance pressures with related injuries.  For more information visit https://balanceisbetter.org.nz/
