After School & Holiday Programmes

The KiwiSport Holiday Programmes are a great way to keep the children active in the holidays. Sport Canterbury run these programmes every January, April, July and September holiday at a number of venues around Canterbury.

The aim is to provide opportunities for children to have fun and learn the skills of a variety of KiwiSports in a safe and friendly environment. By experiencing a variety of KiwiSports, children are able to identify different sports they enjoy playing, and have the opportunity to continue participating in these sports via other community programmes.

As well as KiwiSport Activities in the morning, those children that stay on for the full day programmes will participate in some more passive activities that may include off site visits to such places as Orana Park, Antarctic Centre, Mini Golf.

During the programme a variety of KiwiSports are played including:
Run Jump Throw, Auskick, Badminton, Cricket, Croquet, Hockey, Indoor Bowls, Rugby League, Netball, Basketball, Orienteering, Rugby Union, Soccer, Softball, Ten Pin Bowling, Unihoc, Petanque, Tennis, Touch, Volleyball, Earthball and Parachute.
