Clubs and Sports

What we do

Sport matters. Not just to those teams and individual participants who aspire to reach the highest levels of performance and competition, but also to the wider community who take part for the sheer fun and enjoyment. Sport has a unique capacity to bring together people of different generations, cultures and backgrounds. It improves health, is a source of new friendships and gives enjoyment both to those who play and those who simply watch. Through sport we learn about co-operation and teamwork, self-discipline and resourcefulness, and the life skills which are essential to each of us if we are to play our part in today's society.

The Waitakere Sport Development Strategy has been produced to provide a direction for sport within Waitakere. Sport Waitakere’s role is to work with sport at all levels, to create many sporting opportunities and pathways for all. Important to us is the on going promotion of long term athlete development pathways , creating and sustaining strong connections and linkages between the different elements of the sport system operating in Waitakere; ie schools, clubs, Regional Sport Organisations (RSO) , National Sport Organisations (NSO), regional support services.
