Presented by Aktive, Sport NZ’s and Auckland Council’s strategic partner in Auckland, the free online session will discuss the results of research compiled over the past two years of looking into intermediate and secondary school sport structures, athlete development practices, and the assistance needed for teachers, coaches, managers and officials involved in sport.

  • Barriers for rangatahi (based on Voice of Rangatahi survey)
  • What rangatahi want from sport (based on Voice of Rangatahi survey)
