Southern Cross Stars
These stars are the key foundation pillars of our organisation; coaches, managers, volunteers, and player pathways.Like our ancestors who used the stars to navigate their way - we too rely on each key pillar to collectively grow and strengthen our game.
The Kiwi Way model is inspired by the Māori health model Te Whare Tapa Whā (Dr Mason Durie), the Pasifika health model Fono Fale (Fuimaono Karl Pulotu Endemman) and the Sport NZ model Physical Literacy.

In unity there is strength. Our waka can only sail when all elements are aligned.It also represents the sea that connects all our cultures and origins.
