CreatingCHAMPIONS
The Concept
"Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity'- Kay Redfield Jamison- Clinical Psychologist
SURPASSING THE ORDINARY
We feel young New Zealanders are being brought up in a very busy world and one that appears to be full of marsh-mellowing and cotton-wooling. As a result, many children are missing out in their most influential ages on formulated learnings that offer life coping characteristics – ‘in the real world”.
We want to help turn them from a junior into a Junior Champion. We do this through being a positive external influence and role model in the lives of young New Zealanders by coaching essential life skills through sport skills.
Our philosophy is to work the minds, muscles and manners of our JR. Champs. Putting back the playful challenges, fun, competitiveness, hands on interactions, structures, role modeling, boundaries, life teachings and respect into the childhoods of our JR. Champs. using sport as our tool.
The end product is to assist parents in creating a strong, confident, successful, happy, driven, respectful, well rounded new generation!
Our Vision
- Grow the MINDS, MUSCLES and MANNERS of the new generation through sport and play!

JR. Champs. encourages rewarding those who deserve it through effort, determination and hard work. Our programme has specific codes of conduct that we instill and expect from our JR. Champs. We do not pass around the ‘Champ of the Day’ based on whose turn it is next.
