Young people told us:
👉 Support and encourage both teams
👉 Be kind, that's someone's child
👉 Hype us up

Children copy what they see 👀

When they see positivity, encouragement and respect, they're more likely to bring those same behaviours onto the field.

For our tamariki and rangatahi, the best sideline support is simple: show up, smile and cheer them on.

Kiribati Independence Day and Language Week were celebrated this month and three of our indoor sports venues – Mount Maunganui Sport & Recreation Centre, QEYC, and Haumaru – hosted events and activities as part of the celebrations.

An opening ceremony was held at Mount Maunganui Sport & Recreation Centre, there were fun volleyball and basketball tournaments at the University of Waikato Haumaru Sport & Recreation Centre, as well as a cultural event and closing ceremony at QEYC.

Local photographer and event organiser Tony Taie captured some of the action. See below for more of his great photos.

The car ride home matters 🛻

They had fun, spent time with friends, and gave it their best.

They don't need a post-match analysis. Instead, give your child time to reflect.

Listen more. Question less. Celebrate effort ✨

Because when sport feels positive, kids are more likely to keep coming back.
