HOME SCHOOLED STUDENT PARTICIPATION AT THE ZESPRI AIMS GAMES

The AIMS Games Trust are committed to providing a positive and inclusive sporting experience for all young athletes in Years 7 and 8 — regardless of how or where they are educated. We warmly welcome home-schooled students from across Aotearoa to take part in the Games and showcase their talents in Tauranga Moana.

Home-schooled students are eligible to participate, provided they meet all standard eligibility criteria for the 2026 Zespri AIMS Games. In 2026, 17 of our sporting codes will offer individual entry options, giving home-schooled athletes the opportunity to compete independently.

Please note that home-schooled students are not permitted to represent another school in any team-based sporting codes.
