Congratulations to all the NZ contingent members for a very successful 2010 IVF Va’a World Sprints campaign.
It was truly exciting to see so many teams make it to the event and to also make it to the finals. We hope this has been an exciting and rewarding experience for you all. Enjoy the accolades you all so richly deserve.
Many thanks to the various coaching, management and support teams to help make this event so successful prior to the teams departure from New Zealand and during their time there. A special thanks to for all the whanau who supported the juniors during this time – your involvement and support has been very much appreciated and we hope for you this was an experience you too will treasure.
A special thank you to all those whanau who were left behind. We hope the treasured experiences relayed back and the stories from your loved ones go someway to allowing you share this wonderful experience with them.

This website is designed to enable all participants of the 2010 World Sprints campaigns (Senior Men, Women, Juniors and all management / coaching / support teams) access to information around preparations leading up to and the event itself.
It is designed to be accessible via the national website or independently and to house all World Sprints related communications rather than using the national website and is therefore a “one stop shop” for all your information needs.
