Positive Vibes Only Campaign

Sport Hawkes Bay in partnership with Sport Waikato are bringing the highly successful Positive Vibes Only campaign to the Hawke's Bay.

Positive Vibes Only is designed to encourage, support and create a positive environment for tamariki and rangatahi and the community surrounding our students in sports.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Sideline behaviour

Sideline behaviour can make or break the sporting experience. While negativity has long been a challenge for sporting organisations, surveys show just how much it affects players, referees, and those behind the scenes. The good news? The Positive Vibes Only campaign has already made a real impact! By championing respect and encouragement, sports tournaments create welcoming environments where players, coaches, supporters, parents, officials, and administrators can enjoy the game.  ​​​​​​​

Play Streets are a fun way for tamariki, rangatahi and whānau to play outside, be active, get to know each other, and promote better connected neighbourhoods. There are lots of benefits for everyone taking part – whether you’re a parent or caregiver, neighbour or tamariki. ​​​​​​​

Get involved!

Organising a Play Street is easier than you might think. By following the straightforward steps below, or by downloading the toolkit, you can create a fun and safe environment for your community to enjoy. The process, from submitting your application to receiving the necessary consent, typically takes around four to six weeks. ​​​​​​​
