Positive Vibes Only Campaign

Sport Hawkes Bay in partnership with Sport Waikato are bringing the highly successful Positive Vibes Only campaign to the Hawke's Bay.

Positive Vibes Only is designed to encourage, support and create a positive environment for tamariki and rangatahi and the community surrounding our students in sports.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Sideline behaviour

Sideline behaviour can make or break the sporting experience. While negativity has long been a challenge for sporting organisations, surveys show just how much it affects players, referees, and those behind the scenes. The good news? The Positive Vibes Only campaign has already made a real impact! By championing respect and encouragement, sports tournaments create welcoming environments where players, coaches, supporters, parents, officials, and administrators can enjoy the game.  ​​​​​​​
