Our Team

We stand on the shoulders of Giants

This year our committee has grown in double and we continue to bring in all the right pieces to help this club continue to grow.

Our Story

Takaanini Giants was founded in 2022. The name Takaanini comes from a long history through Te Akitai and a chief named Ihaka Takaanini.  Ihaka was imprisoned where he would eventually pass and his son Te Wirihana continued his legacy. Ihaka was imprisoned for not bending the knee to the crown. We as a people of this community stand on the shoulders of our ancestors or our tupuna. We stand on the shoulders of Giants. 

​

We are the newest team in the small league of Auckland and only want to help support the growth of this sport in New Zealand.  All staff members run of volunteer time and commitment to the sport.

How Your Support Helps

Our club is proudly run by a dedicated family of volunteers who pour their time, passion, and energy into creating the best possible environment for our players. But to keep our club thriving, we rely on the generous support of sponsors and donors.

​

Your sponsorship directly funds essential equipment like helmets, shoulder pads, and uniforms—crucial for safety and performance. It also supports player development programs and helps open doors to international playing opportunities, giving our athletes the chance to grow and shine on a bigger stage.

​

By backing our club, you're investing in the future of our players and the strength of our sporting community. Every contribution truly makes a difference.

I AM HOPE
