Tiaki Ariki Tournment - Kowaiau
On the 26th October 2023, local schools in Porirua competed in our Tiaki Ariki Tournament.
The game is similar to Dodge ball with a few twists, the aim is to protect your Ariki from the other teams. Four teams compete at the same time on court. The other teams goal is to either hit everyone else with the dodge ball - getting them out or hit the Ariki with the ball to get the whole team out. But be aware if someone catches your throw from another team on a full (no bounces) then the person who threw the ball is out.
Tiaki Ariki Tournament 2024 took place at Te Rauparaha Arena with the undefeated winners - Papakōwhai School. Click on the button below for more videos and photos of our amazing tamariki
