KiwiSport

KiwiSport is a national initiative that was launched in 2009 by Prime Minister John Key. KiwiSport has very specific purposes:

• To increase the number of school-aged children participating in organised sport – during school, after school and by strengthening links with sports clubs.
• To increase the availability and accessibility of sport opportunities for all school-aged children to participate in organised sport.
• To support children in developing skills that will enable them to participate effectively in organised sport.
