Ignite Sport

Welcome to Ignite Sport, a youth development institution located in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. Situated at 48a Bell Road, Ignite Sport is more than just an establishment or point of interest – it is a place where young people are inspired and communities are impacted through the power of sport.

At Ignite Sport, we have a unique approach to youth development. We believe that sport and recreation can be a catalyst for personal growth and character development. Through engaging activities and programs, we encourage young people to consider their values, cultivate balance in their lives, and nurture their hearts.

One of the core values at Ignite Sport is the belief in developing young people into positive leaders. We understand that this cannot be accomplished without the support of our community. We are immensely grateful to all those who have already contributed their time and resources to help us make a difference in the lives of so many young individuals. Whether it's volunteering at one of our events, becoming more involved with our programs, or simply spreading the word about our mission, everyone has something to offer. We would be honored to have your support.

As a Charitable Trust, Ignite Sport relies on funding and support from both businesses and individuals.

She embodies the values and spirit of Ignite Sport, and her presence inspires our youth to build confidence and self-esteem.

At Ignite Sport, we provide a holistic approach to youth development through sport. We offer valuable instruction, mentorship opportunities, and a supportive community that inspires young athletes to reach their full potential.
