Flippa Ball Information


Flippa Ball – It’s the new craze happening at The Leisure Centre. The new league has already completed one term and the children that have played can’t get enough!
All the games are played from 5pm on Sunday evenings. The children don’t have to be amazing swimmers, they just need to be confident and enjoy fun in the water.  Sport Gulf Harbour are keen to get in on the action this year and enter some teams of our own!

We are looking for three different team categories:
  1. Years 3 and 4 children combined teams
  2. Years 5 and 6 children combined teams
  3. Year 7 and 8 children combined teams **

** Please note that the intermediate teams (year 7 & 8) are played in the deep end of the pool.

A couple of basic rules:
  • 9 Children per team – 7 players in the water and 2 Sub’s.
  • Their is a goal at each end of the pool in which each team is trying to score points.
  • The players can only touch the ball with one hand at a time
  • You can swim with the ball or throw the ball but you can not walk or run with the ball.

The first game of the season is on the 12th of February.    If you think this is something your children would be interested please contact Sarah Southcombe on flippaball@sportgulfharbour.co.nz

It is a great sport for the kids and it is also a great sport for the parents to watch or play, so give it a go!
