Supporting Our Young Female Athletes 💜

Presented by Sport Bay of Plenty and Her Strength, this informative session with Dr Tanya Keough explores the key health considerations for teenage female athletes and how parents, caregivers, and coaches can better support young women to stay healthy, confident, and involved in sport.

A valuable event for female athletes, parents/caregivers, and coaches.

Tickets: $10
Numbers are limited, so book early.

Looking for a fun and active way to help your little one build confidence and develop new skills?

Mini Club is perfect for children aged 3–6 years (born 2020–2023)!

Our Athletics New Zealand Get Set Go programme uses games and fun activities to develop the fundamental movement skills every child needs - running, jumping, throwing, balancing, and coordination.

Parents and caregivers join in too, making Mini Club a great way to be active together while your child learns in a safe, supportive environment.

Every third week is a competition week, giving our young athletes the chance to race on the track, jump into the long jump pit, and have a go at throwing.

Tauranga Domain
Mondays - 5:20–6:20 pm
Season starts 19 October 2026

Come along and discover why athletics is the perfect foundation for every sport!

We're excited to launch a brand-new Athlete Development Programme for athletes aged 11–19 years.

During the final rotation of club night, athletes can choose to take part in a session focused on building the foundations for success in athletics and every other sport.

These sessions are designed to help athletes become stronger, faster, more confident movers while reducing injury risk and improving overall athletic performance.

This is an opt-in programme, so athletes who prefer not to participate can simply complete the standard club night rotation as usual.

Whether your goal is to sprint faster, jump higher, throw further, or simply become a better all-round athlete, this programme is for you. We can't wait to see our athletes grow!

If your child is keen to run, jump and throw in a fun, supportive club environment, we’d love to have you join us.
