16+ Age Limit
A player must be 16 years or older. All the SDA Youth Sports Tournaments have an age limit of 16+ for players. This has been set to ensure the safety, fairness and duty of care requirements for young people playing at this level of competition. This age limit policy also means that we meet our Church’s Safe Place Policies (the tournaments are not currently set up to meet the requirements for under 16s) and the wishes of our churches (who indicated in a previous survey that they do not want to play against under 16s in our Youth Tournaments). Thank you for taking note of this age limit and protecting the standard of our Tournaments. If a team does use an under 16 player, they forfeit that game and the under-age player will be asked to leave the court.

NNZC SDA Discipleship Tournament - 4 His Glory
Be part of the Sporting Legacy of the SDA Church
The 4 annual Sports Tournaments run by the North NZ Conference have a long and rich legacy of discipleship. They provide a forum for young people to show excellence, have fun, make connections, and shine for God’s Glory. We love seeing the churches use this time by mentoring and encouraging their young people to be better connected to God and grow as disciples of Jesus. This happens during training, transport, games, fellowship, meals, team worships, and the extreme pressure that comes with playing sports. We also aim to provide opportunities for Adventist young people to grow healthy Christian relationships with each other and to celebrate being a valuable part of our church. The Conference will continue to organise the safest, fairest and best-planned Tournaments to ensure these objectives are met.
Our dream is that every young person becomes a disciple of Jesus who:
Knows Jesus
Accepts Jesus
Follows Jesus
Serves Jesus
Shares Jesus
Our prayer for each team is that they use their time together wisely to connect, grow, reach out, have fun, and learn how to glorify Christ in every area of their lives.
