What a great group of athletes we had at No Limits Netball with ! You all got better each week and had great teamwork, no matter who who was on your team. It was always exciting to see what surprise tactic each team had worked up in order to score!

A special thank you to Coach Georgia & Coach Taryn from Hawke's Bay Netball; our players could not have done it without you!

Netball has been so great, we are bringing the netball fun to Mitre10 Park in Hastings for Term 1 2026. Be on the lookout for upcoming dates and times for netball in Term 1.

We hope to see you all back on the court soon!

What a great time we had last month for DSRHB's Waka Ama & Sailability On the Water Event with 's local club & ! The weather was perfect, and we could not have had such a great with event without the many volunteers from each club, as well as additional support from Sport Hawke's Bay, the Halberg Foundation, and .

It was great to get back out on the water with Roni and her crew, and it was a great to have our 1st event with Dennis and his crew from Sailability. Both crews did a great job getting our returning rowers and sailors another opportunity on the water as well and fully supporting our athletes who had never been on the water before this event!

We're looking forward to getting back out on the water with Waka Ama & Sailabilty in 2026!

Meet Teina

Teina is one of the smiliest DSRHB members we know, and we loved catching up with him at our recent End of Year event with Sense Rugby and PUMAS Softball Academy. We first met Teina at rugby in 2024 with Clive Junior Rugby & Sports, where he gave the Tangata Whaikaha programme his all.

He says he loves all sport – golf is a favourite – and he enjoys playing soccer at school. Recently, he’s been getting involved in athletics and even took part in the Napier Aquatic Centre tryathlon, proudly coming away with two medals. Teina has also enjoyed his time at the Magpies captain session and getting on the court for basketball.

We love your energy and enthusiasm, Teina.

Yesterday DSRHB joined the celebrations for International Day of People with Disabilities, and what an amazing day it was! 💙 There were smiles all around, laughter, and plenty of energy – Kath and her friend Bex from Clive Bootscootin opened the day with some fantastic line dancing fun. 🤠

We had a blast sharing our love of Boccia and seeing so many new people giving it a go. A big thank you to Tina and Jo for their support, and all the volunteers who helped make it a day to remember.

At DSRHB, we are not only offering new opportunities for all abilities sport and active recreation, we are building a community!

Days like this remind us why inclusion, play, and connection matter so much.
