Making a Splash with Keilani 💦

This term we kicked off our Swimsation Start to Swim programme with the amazing team at Flaxmere Pools.

It’s been wonderful to see Keilani fully enjoying her swim lessons and gaining confidence in the water. Swimming is not only fun, it’s also a gentle way to build strength, and it’s already become a highlight of her week.

We love seeing our members try something new and discover the joy of movement. If you’d like to explore swimming or other DSRHB programmes, head to our website to find out more and join us.

Boccia has been a staple in the DSRHB calendar since we launched Gotcha Boccia back in 2023.

Three years on, we’re still going strong with a regular crew meeting twice a month to practise, have a match against each other, and fine tune their skills. The focus, strategy and friendly rivalry make every session a good one.

Each term we welcome new faces as our Boccia whānau continues to grow, and we love seeing players build both confidence and connection.

This year we’re especially looking forward to the interregional lower North Island tournament in June alongside our Parafed and Disability Sport friends.

We are super grateful to Roni and the team from 's local club for their dedication and heart for our members.

We recently enjoyed two fabulous days on the water, filled with laughter, encouragement and teamwork. For some of our athletes it was a chance to build on previous experience, and for others it was their very first time out on the water.

Seeing confidence grow with every paddle stroke is always a highlight. It simply wouldn’t be possible without the support of passionate leaders and volunteers who create such a safe, welcoming environment for everyone.

Wow, everyone! So many of you showed up yesterday and really gave it your best SHOT 🏀 It was so great to see all of you working together and seeing our first full court 5-on-5 scrimmage (it made me tired just watching you all run around 😅). It was also so wonderful to hear from some of you about how important this DSRHB basketball programme is to you and how many of you look forward to it every week! Looking forward to seeing what Coach Jordan has in store for you next week.

Hope to see you all (and maybe even some more new faces) next week!

One of the highlights of our summer calendar is All Wheels at in Napier.

Held each Monday during Term 1 and Term 4, this programme is all about building skills, balance and belief. Watching our athletes grow in confidence as they gain momentum on skateboards, scooters, and all wheels is truly special.

The Rig continues to be an incredible support, helping participants transition towards greater independence as they find their flow.

There’s nothing quite like the skate park on an All Wheels afternoon.

Meet Josh!

Josh has been a DSRHB member for several years, and has participated in all kinds of events and programmes, including: DSRHB's Basketball session with the Hawks, swimming, Adaptive Football, End of the Year celebration, All-Abilities Multi Sport Day, 10 Pin Bowling, and the Halberg Games. Josh is a determined player, with an eye for making the right play or move, and is quick to improve his technique if it isn't up to his own standard!

His favourite thing about being a member of DSRHB:
Meeting people with similar experiences and challenges

His favourite event/sport:
Adaptive Football with Central Football

His favourite moment so far:
How DSRHB always includes everyone!

His favourite memory of the Halberg Games (so many!):
Was the Halberg mile! Also seeing all sorts of people competing with different disabilities. He also enjoyed the disco and trying out the different kinds of bikes.

This year he is looking forward to most:
Trying new stuff and meeting new people!

The event/programme he is looking forward to most is:
Rugby

Thanks, Josh, for being such a dedicated member of the DSRHB whānau; we hope that you make as many memories this year as you did last year!
