Tauranga Underwater hockey would like to introduce you to our new PEE-WEE Puck programme designed to get students aged between 9 and 13 yrs of age involved in the sport.
This sport is great for students that love water activities and want to be involved in a team sport but haven’t found their niche yet. It is also fantastic for people recovering from an injury and are unable to participate in high impact activities and as we all know activity helps with mental well being.
If popular enough Tauranga underwater hockey will develop a PEE-WEE league with teams from individual schools or composite teams to compete in term 4 2022.
The club can assist with coaching for schools interested in participating.
Please contact the club for more information. Let's get these kids off their devices and out experiencing new things.
Club night is Sunday 4pm to 5pm during school term at Baywave pool, please check our facebook page for any cancellations and if students have their own gear please encourage them to bring it along

Find out how a few key elements can warm up your abode over the winter months. Anyone can make a home that is inviting and relaxing after a long cold day.

Choose a warm paint colour: Explore the colour wheel - Notice that yellows, oranges and reds are on the warm side so utilising those colours will simulate a cosier, warmer mood. Blue and purples are on the cool side so they will simulate the opposite mood.

Warm lighting: Group lighting by using task and ambience lighting and a mixture of table and floor lamps. Warm coloured bulbs throw out a softer light and give a room a cosy feel.

TIP: Having your lights on separate switches means you can control how bright/dim a space will be.

Add pot plants: Any living element contributes to a cosy and inviting feel. Plants in baskets are not only on-trend, but they also generate more oxygen inside your home too.

TIP: Group pots together using different shapes and heights to make a focal point.

Carpet, rugs and textiles: Tiles are great but can be chilly underfoot in the cooler months. Carpets insulate, soften and warm up a room and New Zealand wool carpets are environmentally friendly with a sustainable fibre, plus naturally flame retardant.

Don’t discount rugs even if you have carpets. Make sure you choose a rug that works with your existing carpet. Placing a rug between yourself and the floor instantly guarantees a warmer atmosphere. Rugs are also incredibly good at tying a space together.

TIP: Garage carpet reforms the space from a cold concrete feel to a soft warm space too!
