WELCOME TO HINEMOA ATHLETICS CLUB

The Hinemoa Athletics Club is a Children's Athletics Club with programmes available for children from 3 years and upwards, during the summer season.

We provide a range of opportunities for children of all skill leves and interests, balancing performance, participation and fun.

We have athletes performing at a National Level, we have many others who achieve at a Regional level, and others who love coming along to club nights and having fun.

Programme Focus: A key focus across our programmes is building the fundamental skills of movement - running, jumping and throwing.  These fundamental skills are transferable to all sports.

Mini Club (3-6 yrs) is for our youngest members and is a rotation of short races and skill-based games, teaching the basic fundamentals of running, jumping and throwing.

Our Senior athletes (7-14 yrs) continue to build on the core skills of running, jumping and throwing - applying them to discus, shot put and long jump. 

In addition, our Senior athletes (10-14 yrs), will have the opportunity to learn specific skills for long distance running, high jump and hurdles.

Ribbon Days

Ribbon Days are held throughout the season and hosted by different clubs around the Waikato / Bay of Plenty. 

For those families who are new to athletics, we strongly encourage you to attend Ribbon Days when you can. Ribbon Days are participation based and a huge amount of fun for kids up to 14 years of age. You do not need to register - just turn up and compete in what you want. There’s lots of ribbons up for grabs and events are typically structured so every child earns at least one ribbon (although it can’t be guaranteed).

They are a great experience for the kids, learning the rhythm and feel of a competition day. It’s great practice for the more structured competitions like the WBOP Children’s Champs and the Colgate Games.

Ribbon days are also FREE so please come along and join in the fun! They are a great way to meet new friends, build on skills and technique, and compete against other athletes.

 A morning programme runs for Mini Club, and a full-day programme runs for athletes 7-14 yrs.
