Summer Programmes
Our Summer Programme
Summer at Tamai means Linfield Park is buzzing. Four sports, four ways for tamariki to get out there, get moving, and meet other kids from across the community who share a love of sport.
Whether it's stepping up to a Saturday cricket team, a Tuesday afternoon of Touch, a first go at Futsal, or Volleyball on a Thursday, tamariki from different schools come together to be part of a team. Every session comes with kai, transport sorted, and new friendships along the way.
From Have a Go sessions for our youngest players to competitive Saturday teams for our older tamariki, there's a spot for every kid this summer, whatever their age or experience.
Have a look through what's on below, and get in touch with your school or us to register.
Cricket 2026/2027
Cricket is stepping up for Year 5 and 6 tamariki this season. Registering for this team means committing to Saturday games as well as Thursday training, not just the Thursday session on its own.

Registrations are open below, so get in touch to secure your tamariki's spot.

Touch Rugby is an exciting and fun-filled event held every Tuesday afternoon at Linfield Park, and we'd love to see you there!
We run two Touch seasons. Term 4 runs from 20 October to 1 December, and Term 1 runs from [insert Term 1 start] to [insert Term 1 end].
Schools are welcome to enter teams across all grades, from Year 0 through to Year 8, making it a fantastic opportunity for tamariki of all ages to get active, build friendships, and enjoy some friendly competition.
Entry forms will be sent out to schools the term before the event, so keep an eye out and get your teams registered early.
Games run from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm, so come on down after school and join in the fun. We'll also have a community BBQ running, so bring the whānau along for kai and a catch up. All players, supporters, and spectators are welcome!
Contact your schools to get involved!
