Onerahi Natives Softball Club: Who We Are

Established in 2019, Onerahi Natives began competing in the Bay of Islands competition before joining the local Whangarei competition when Whangarei Softball Association was established in 2022.

Our club has grown from the ground up through the commitment of our players, coaches, volunteers, supporters and wider community. Everyone who contributes plays an important part in the strength and future of our club.

Our Kaupapa

Our club is guided by four important values:

• Rangatahi — encouraging and developing our young people.
  
• Kotahitanga — standing together as one.
• Manaakitanga — showing care, respect and support for others.​​​​​​​
• Whakawhanaungatanga — building strong relationships and a sense of belonging.

These values guide how we play, how we support one another and how we represent Onerahi Natives.

What "Natives" means

Being a Native is about more than wearing our colours or playing softball. It represents how we carry ourselves, support our teammates and represent our whānau and community.

• N — Never Give Up
• A — Attitude
• T — Teamwork
• I — Improve Every Day
• V — Victory Mindset
• E — Effort
• S — Sportsmanship

When you wear Natives, you carry these values with pride—both on and off the diamond.
