Steve is proud of our club’s history, which started with skilled workers from the UK, Norway, Sweden, Holland, and Finland back when the Whakatane Board Mills kicked off. We've grown a lot since then and love the community we've built.

We're always looking for coaches, team managers, and sponsors, so if you're interested, let us know. Local business support is crucial for us to keep providing opportunities for all players.
