It's game time, NZ schools!

Join us for an epic nationwide handball-a-thon.

Play handball for kids who need a hand up​.

This October, we’re challenging students in schools across New Zealand to play as much handball (A.K.A four square) as they can, to raise money for kids who need a hand-up.​

With you on our team, we’re aiming to raise $1 million to support 10,000 children with food, solid shoes and a warm jacket. Help us level the playing field so every child can focus on learning.​

ASB is teaming up as our official Schools Sponsor – gifting the first 250 schools that join the challenge with free handball starter kits to get the ball rolling and Kiwi kids moving!

School Sign-Up

A school champion needs to create a profile and register the school to take part.

Spread the Word

Share the event through your school newsletter, app, and PTA or class pages. See our school toolkit.

Parent / Student Registration

Parents need to sign up and create a profile for anyone under 18. Over 18? You're all good to register yourself!

Fundraise

Ask your friends, family, and wider school community to support you by donating to your page.

Play Handball!

Get on the court and start playing – during breaks, PE, lunchtime, after school – whenever works!

Why should your school participate?

  • Your students love handball already – it's fun, easy to play, inclusive, and great exercise
  • Games can be any length, at any time – during breaks, or incorporated into PE lessons
  • It’s easy to take part through our fundraising platform
  • Students sign up, set a goal and challenge themselves to get active
  • They earn badges as they achieve targets, and there are prizes for the most funds raised
  • The school who raises the most money could score themselves a visit from The Hits depending on your school location
  • Most importantly, students learn how to help other students who need support
  • They’ll see the impact – we’ll share the difference their donation makes to a child in poverty

So give us a hand and have a ball!
