The Balance is Better philosophy offers a fresh way of thinking for those involved in delivering youth sport in New Zealand
Balance is Better is an evidence-based philosophy to support quality sport experiences for all young people, regardless of ability, needs and motivations. It is about young people staying involved in sport for life and realising their potential at the right time.
The nine Balance is Better principles have been developed by the New Zealand sport system to support the culture change needed to provide quality sport opportunities for tamariki (5-11) and rangatahi (12-18). View them HERE
Sport NZ’s current focus is on rangatahi, given the decline we are seeing in teenage participation.
