2025 Youth Nationals Teams Announcement

After navigating a long and challenging journey, we are thrilled to officially confirm our U16 Kōtiro, U18 Kōhine, and U16 Tama teams that will represent us at this year's Youth Nationals in Ōtautahi, Christchurch. The path to this point hasn’t been easy—many obstacles and complexities have arisen along the way—but the collective determination to uplift our rangatahi has never wavered.

We acknowledge that for many whānau, the financial burden of participating at Nationals can be significant. We’ve worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that pūtea is never a barrier to excellence. Every decision has been guided by the belief that our tamariki and taiohi deserve every opportunity to succeed and shine.

Please note: We are still finalising our U18 Tāne team and will release that announcement as soon as possible. Our commitment is to have all teams confirmed and shared by end of day tomorrow.
