Hi team, my name is Nadja Kumerich, and I am the Para Athletics Lead for the North Harbour Bays Athletics club. Para athletics is the sport of athletics for people with a range of different impairments. We cater to all athletes with all disabilities, including visual impairment, intellectual impairment and physical impairment. By providing an adaptive and inclusive program, we can ensure you or your child can compete in all events at club night alongside able-bodied athletes. If this sounds like something you or your child is interested in, fill out the Google form below, and I will be in touch with you to help create an accommodation plan if needed. Arrive with a positive attitude and a big smile, and we look forward to seeing you there.
Suppose your child is interested in competing in athletics outside of club night, for example, at the Auckland Champs or Colgate Games. In that case, they will need to obtain a provisional or national classification. This means that Athletics New Zealand can group athletes based on how their impairment affects their ability to compete, ensuring fairness for these athletes. If this is something you or your child is interested in, please get in touch with me before the event you would like to enter, and I can assist you through this process. Alternatively, you can visit the Athletics New Zealand website, where the necessary forms can be found to fill out.
If you have any further question please feel free to contact me at nadjakumerich@gmail.com or 0211473525
