← Back to Sports: Education Outside the Classroom

The Koru Games was set up to provide South Island year 7 & 8 tamariki with an accessible opportunity to develop their individual skillsets through playing team sport for their kura.

All sports offered will be played simultaneously over the three days of the Games (Boccia is the only exception and is only played on Tuesday), making the best use of the available time and space. All sports are split across 4x hubs in Selwyn; Lincoln, Rolleston, Lincoln University and Prebbleton.

The sports included are Badminton, Basketball, Boccia (for physically impaired athletes), Football (soccer), Lawn Bowls, Netball, Rugby Sevens, Table Tennis, Tennis, Touch and Volleyball. All sports are hosted at Selwyn District venues.

Parents are needed to be available for transport for some of the days. Each team must have a manager. Tamariki will be issued with a uniform and will require the appropriate gear for their chosen sport. Teams that are already playing at the Winter Tournament can be entered. If there are any new teams required for other sports, there will be trials if needed. An example could be 3x3 basketball.
