Getting more Kiwi kids into sport.

Fees, gear or finding the right club can stand between a young person and the sport they want to play. We work alongside whānau, schools and clubs to help them get started and keep taking part.

How can we help?

  • Get support

    If fees, gear or another barrier is keeping a young person out of sport, tell us what they want to do and what help they need.

  • Sponsor a young person

    Help a young person stay involved in sport. We organise the support with whānau, clubs and suppliers, and keep sponsors updated.

  • Make a donation

    Your donation helps cover fees, gear and programmes so more young people can take part in sport.

  • Explore our programmes

    From individual support to Dabble Days and donated gear, find out how we help young people get involved.

  • Meet the team

    Get to know the staff and trustees behind The WaterBoy with Lugtons, and the experience they bring to our work.

  • See the impact

    Watch young people and whānau share what taking part has meant to them, and see where community support goes.
