PROJECTS<br />
ACFC in the Community<br />
$44,000<br />
CricStars<br />
$8,736<br />
Auckland City Football Club (Girls project)<br />
Children aged 7 - 13 attended football sessions at their schools during curriculum<br />
time and then have the option of a break time session. Girls only sessions were<br />
offered, and schools received some sessions delivered in Te Reo.<br />
Ellerslie Cricket Club (Disability project)<br />
The purpose of CricStars is to provide a platform for kids with disabilities to<br />
participate in cricket activities that increase their gross and fine motor skills, as well<br />
as the enjoyment of being a member of a sports club.<br />
Our targeted participants are tamariki and rangatahi who live with a variety of<br />
disabilities. We have grown our participants from 22 to 28 year on year, with more<br />
than 80% of our participants attending each week in <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
New Zealand Cricket SmashPlay cricket modules have been adapted to suit our<br />
participants. Adaptation methods include using different sized balls and nontraditional<br />
pieces of equipment. SmashPlay is a values based programme focusing<br />
on the values of honesty, support and cooperation.<br />
Basketball without Barriers<br />
$50,000<br />
GI Eagles Basketball (High deprivation and girls only)<br />
Basketball Without Barriers aims to provide opportunities for children within Glen<br />
Innes, where disposable income and transport can be a barrier to participation.<br />
This two phase project is a way to address the barriers that cause our community<br />
to miss out:<br />
1. Girls Got Game (24 weeks). Every session aligns to the Basketball NZ “Girls<br />
Got Game” initiative. Girls can continue to participate in FREE basketball for 16<br />
weeks.<br />
2. Helping Hoops (24 weeks). 8 session recruitment drive where a portable hoop is<br />
located at schools and parks to facilitate social basketball games. We prioritise<br />
schools with no hoops in Glen Innes (drop in style). We currently have 120 boys<br />
aged 7-18 years participating in FREE basketball, we expect this will grow to at<br />
least 150 (not including girls) before our social competition starts.<br />
Community Projects<br />
$70,000<br />
The Ruby Project<br />
$40,000<br />
Jimmel Holdings Ltd (High deprivation and girls only)<br />
The core purpose of this project is to provide opportunities to those missing out and<br />
provide opportunities for girls to participate without boys involvement.<br />
We are working with young people aged between 7-16 years from high deprivation<br />
areas, to attend lunchtime sessions and afterschool programmes in a community<br />
setting. We aim to include 550 children.<br />
Mountain Raiders BMX (Girls project)<br />
We reviewed the barriers to participation and with our current female riders, codesigned<br />
"The Ruby Project" - enabling females to have a safe place to ride without<br />
judgement. A place where riding is focused on fun, friendship, mental strength,<br />
“When you get up into the air, you get a tingling<br />
in your stomach. BMX with girls made me feel<br />
so much more comfortable because I didn't<br />
feel pressured by the boys. I loved the coaches<br />
teaching confidence to us through skills” –<br />
Mountain Raiders BMX, Participant<br />
resilience and increasing confidence and bike skills.<br />
