Kiwisport is a Government funding initiative to promote sport for school-aged children that was announced by the Prime Minister in August 2009 and after a successful three years it has been continued until 2015.

The Regional Partnership Fund (RPF) is coordinated by Sport Bay of Plenty for use in Bay of Plenty communities on behalf of Sport NZ. The allocation is calculated on a per-capita basis based on the number of students in each region.

In this round of funding, Sport Bay of Plenty received 112 applications. All successful applicants are now working through confirming goals for the projects and all projects will be monitored by Sport Bay of Plenty.

Some Major Projects are:

Tauranga Hockey Association have received a total of $75,000 over a period of 3 years to deliver a range of programmes to school aged children 5-13 years of age through a cluster system. After a successful pilot in 2011/2012 the Association will now further develop their programmes.

Pongakawa School/ TECT Action Centre received $10,000 to go towards the purchase of equipment to fit out a new indoor facility TECT Pongakawa - The Action Centre. The Centre is currently under construction and will be a great asset to the wider community.

Futsal is coming to the Bay of Plenty region with the assistance of KiwiSport funding. Waikato Bay of Plenty Football has received $30,000 to provide opportunities for school aged children to participate in Futsal which is the only FIFA and NZ Football approved version of five-aside football and the world's fastest growing indoor sport.

Some KickStart Projects are:
