These kids are just so damn cool 💙

Watching them show up every week is so special.
Every single session you can see confidence growing, friendships building.

You can see kids starting to realise they are awesome and that having fun whilst getting fresh air and exercising is next level 💪✨

Some are natural leaders.
Some are quiet achievers.
Some battle their own challenges every single day just to show up.
But every one of them brings something important to this programme.

Theres absolute chaos at times 🤣
It’s all part of what makes these groups so awesome.

Proud doesn’t even cover it.
These young people are genuinely something special, and getting to watch them grow week by week is such a privilege 💜

Term 2, let’s gooo 💜💪

First session back with our NLA crew and honestly… nothing’s changed! Still the same awesome energy, the same big smiles, and the same legends showing up ready to give it a go, with a couple new faces too ✨

The days might be getting a little cooler ❄️
…but these kids? Still bringing the HEAT 🔥

So good to be back doing what we love — building confidence, connection, and strong, happy humans.

Let’s make this term another good one 💜

So much creative this week 😍

Its truly amazing what you learn, when you step back. This week, the kids took charge of our lessons! We built obstacle courses, we used colour and design and imagination. We worked together and we practiced our teamwork, and our leadership skills.

Watching all schools get outside and enjoy themselves has been incredible. Watching the kids use the things we had been learning together all term, put it all together and create their own games was just brilliant.

So proud of these superstars ✨️

Family Fun Day = SUCCESS ☀️💪

What an awesome day today at the Family Fun Day at Victoria Park, Feilding!

The sun was shining, the park was packed, and the energy from all the kids and families was absolutely next level 🤩

Next Level Athletes had so much fun running our obstacle course, and wow… you guys showed up ready to move!

We saw speed, determination, and so many big smiles — exactly what NLA is all about 💜

Days like this keep reminding me why we do what we do 🥰

Getting kids active, building confidence, and bringing families together in a fun, supportive environment is what it’s all about.

Huge shout out to Elijah, who smashed the course and came in 1st place with an incredible time of 24 seconds!! 🏆🔥
That was seriously impressive!

Thank you to everyone who came along, had a go, cheered each other on, and made the day so special.

We love being part of this community, and we love seeing these kids have fun together, cheering each other on

✨ Next Level Athletes in action this week! ✨

Another awesome round of sessions with our crew, and the energy has been unreal. Every week we’re seeing more confidence, more teamwork, and more kids willing to give things a go — and that’s exactly what this programme is all about.

At Next Level Athletes, we’re not just running games. We’re building confidence, connection, courage, and resilience through movement, teamwork, and a whole lot of fun.

From obstacle courses to team challenges, balance drills to full-on running games, these kids are learning to trust themselves, support each other, and step outside their comfort zones — and it’s so cool to watch it happen right in front of us.

Some of the best moments aren’t the fastest runners or the biggest kicks…
It’s the smiles, the high-fives, the kids who didn’t think they could do it — and then they do. 💪✨

Proud of every single one of these legends 💜

Playing games and laughter in the sun 🧡 Building team work skills, movement and making new friends 🧡

Can't think of a better way to spend your week! Awesome to see the kids grow in confidence and keep building that trust 😊

Different schools.
Different faces.
Same energy.
Same mission 💪

This is what Next Level Athletes is about-
Connection. Confidence. Courage.

Creating spaces where kids feel safe to try.
Safe to laugh.
Safe to grow.

The energy this week has been awesome!

Some nervous first moments to full-blown belly laughs and brave first attempts. That’s the magic, in the "i didnt think this would be so much fun" comments at the end 🥰

This is how we build strong bodies and even stronger humans.

We’re just warming up 💜🔥

Yesterday, Next Level Athletes had an awesome afternoon at the Feilding Skate Park for Play Along the Way, run by Sport Manawatū - Feilding and Surrounds. Coach Saami and Allan loved catching up with the kids and running the "hang-around" competition. This wasn’t easy an easy challenge either, each participant had to stabilise the horizontal bar while holding position, making it a real test of strength, control and mind.
Congratulations to LEO, who lasted an incredible 3 minutes! 👏🥇
