Simon Neate Marketing Administrator Sport Bay of Plenty

Sport Bay of Plenty is a charitable trust that has a wide and varied approach to enriching lives through sport and recreation by assisting the Bay of Plenty community in becoming more active, more often.

Our organisation's website and social media channels are fantastic tools that help facilitate this goal; giving the public opportunities to interact with, utilise and benefit from Sport Bay of Plenty.

The website at www.sportbop.co.nz is the Bay of Plenty's community hub for all things sport and recreation, with details on upcoming events and workshops, links to the latest news, funding and scholarship information, school sport calendars, programme details, results, employment opportunities and much more.

One of the most helpful and most visited pages on the site is the event calendar at www.sportbop.co.nz/events_calendar

Every week we receive and upload multiple submissions from Bay of Plenty clubs, groups and organisations listing their upcoming events.

These events vary greatly and include coaching workshops, school holiday programmes, have-a-go days, funding sessions, representative matches, club days and more.

Submit your event at www.sportbop.co.nz/submit_your_event

Upcoming events as well as news, results and employment opportunities are shared weekly in our ActiveMail e-newsletter. Sign up www.sportbop.co.nz/newsletter.

Parents should keep an eye on the event results section at www.sportbop.co.nz/event_results

Our school sport coordinators are quick to compile results after school sport events and they are uploaded here along with a link to event photography in our Flickr gallery.

Sport Bay of Plenty's Flickr gallery at www.flickr.com/photos/sportbayofplenty is packed full of albums featuring quality imagery from sport, recreation and community events from throughout the Bay.

Browse our archive where recent school cross country albums share the page with such varied events as Rippa Rugby, Top School, Bike Month, The Amazing Race, Rest Home Games, Lead it, Bay of Plenty Sports Awards and much more.

Feel free to download any images and remember to tag @sport bay of plenty when you share on Facebook.
