Balance is Better

Balance is Better is an evidence-based philosophy to support quality sports experiences for all young people. This philosophy has been put in place by Sport NZ due to the significant decrease in young people playing sports.

In 2023 Rangiora High School with the support of School Sport Canterbury held a coach's evening to explain the details of Balance is Better.  The notes from this session can be found below as well as Sport NZ's Balance is Better document.
