NEW CLUB Tokararangi Sports Club Inc - Te Uranga O Te Ra region

We are a Sports Club from Te Araroa, Te Tairawhiti. There are limited sporting and recreational opportunities available for our young people here in Te Araroa, and we believe waka ama can provide a positive pathway for them to get involved in sport, develop new skills, and experience opportunities they may not otherwise have access to. Our goal is to give our tamariki and rangatahi opportunities to be active, build confidence, discover their potential, and feel that they too can achieve great things. We want to create opportunities that may not currently be available to them and ensure that where they come from does not limit what they can achieve.
