The Rutherford Archery team train on the school fields every Tuesday after school. Our team includes students from Year 9 -13, some trying an organised sport for the first time and others who are involved in numerous sports.

Archery is a great sport for those who are reluctant to join a team or feel that their physical fitness is not high enough. The equipment is all supplied, so parents do not need to purchase expensive gear.

All new archers improve very rapidly!

We run an in-house competition, competing against ourselves and others to improve and get the highest number of points.

Students wishing for high-level competition can currently join the Massey Archery Club, which runs many events for its members.

Coaches:

The Majority of coaches at Rutherford College are Student Coaches. Please recognise the value and importance of volunteer coaches.  They give of their time and resources to provide recreational activities for your child so respect their decisions. No parent should be present at the half -time talk that the coach holds with their team members. As you can also understand every coach has their own style of coaching and parents should respect this, be supportive and recognize the value and importance of volunteer coaches. There is only ONE coach so please do not question their decisions in front of the team members.

Manager:

To comply with College Sports and Waitakere Netball Association regulations we are required to provide an adult manager with every team entered into a competition. If we do not comply with this ruling the opposition can refuse to play against us and of course the ramifications of this are huge. The adult that is present isn’t required to be actively involved other than to supervise and assist if possible. The other reason for having a Manager present is that some situations can be diffused quickly by an adult rather than by the players.

It is one of our aims with sport at Rutherford College to instil the idea of commitment to teams and this involves in the students being at every practice, trial and game.
