Young People

Kids biking

We want young New Zealanders (aged 0-18) to develop a love of sport and recreation that leads to lifelong participation.

To achieve this we will focus on:

  • more resources getting to primary schools to get more kids into organised sport, including after-school programmes and a range of school and club-based initiatives
  • more support for secondary schools to get school students involved in organised sport and recreation
  • more support for clubs and grassroots providers to encourage young people to stay in sport after secondary school
  • ensuring young people (age 0-12) have the fundamental movement and basic sport skills to participate in sport and recreation for life.
