HELPING YOUNG WAITAKERE ATHLETES ACHIEVE
The Don Oliver Youth Sport Foundation was established in 1997 by leaders of the West Auckland community with the mission to provide scholarships and other forms of support for pre-elite Waitakere athletes in all codes.
To be eligible the youngsters must be aged between 14 and 21, live and train in Waitakere and have the realistic ability to step up to national and international honours.
