Northern region is covered by two Regional Leaders: Jacolize Becker for Auckland North, and Onosai Auva'a for Auckland South.
Jacolize Becker
Originally from South Africa, Jacolize is known for her big heart, friendly demeanour, and approachable personality. Her passion for connecting with people and her love for sport makes Jacolize an invaluable asset to the SCNZ team and the sporting communities she’s involved in.
Jacolize is a sports enthusiast at heart, with Athletics being her favourite, but she's also a fan of other sports - even watching UFC with her husband and sons!
When she’s not proudly wearing the SCNZ logo, Jacolize is dabbling in photography, painting her most recent landscape photo, or if you want to find her in her happy place, head straight to the ocean! Whether it's swimming, kayaking, or just lounging on the beach, Jacolize loves any activity she can do in, on, or next to the water.

Onosai Auva'a
Onosai is based in Papatoetoe and is the Sports Chaplain at the Papatoetoe Rugby club. He has a heart for all sports (apparently everything from snooker to curling piques his interest), but rugby takes the cake. Being a former professional rugby player, Onosai understands the pressures and challenges that the sporting world at that level brings.
When he isn't fulfilling his role as the Auckland South Regional Leader, Onosai embraces the joys of life alongside his wife Amy and their four sons. In addition to his service as an Anglican Priest at St. George's Papatoetoe, he also enjoys strumming a guitar, belting out some catchy country tunes.
