The Northland Cricket Association (NCA) recently hosted a two day Balance is Better Hui at Cobham Oval.
Sport NZ leads Andrew Hewetson, Alex Chiet and Dillion Boucher facilitated the Balance is Better hui in support of the Northland Sports Coalition (NSC) who are leading change on behalf of the regional sports organisations for Te Tai Tokerau and the Sport and Recreation Sector.
11 regional sports organisations supported the Hui along with Sport NZ, Sport Northland and NorthTec.
Both days were well attended with some fantastic energy, sharing, collaboration and planning towards creating positive change within our Northland Sport and Recreation Sector.
Balance is Better is an evidence-based approach. The focus of the philosophy is on why young people play sport – to have fun, be challenged, develop and improve, be part of a team or group, and enjoy time with friends.
