The market charges
$24–$50 a week.
We charge nothing.
For a family with two athletes, structured youth development in Auckland costs $2,500–$5,200 per year. Frntrw Foundation exists to eliminate that barrier entirely — delivering the same quality, with a more credible coaching pedigree, at zero cost to the athlete.
Funders don't fund programmes that already make money. They fund the gap between what the market charges and what families in South and West Auckland can actually afford. That gap is what we exist to close.

Lead from the front.
Five pillars.
Every programme we run is built around five principles that close the gap between talent and opportunity.
One programme.
Every athlete.
Every young Auckland athlete has a path in — regardless of background or budget. No fees. No barriers.
Made possible by our sponsors and community partners. Every sponsorship directly funds an athlete who couldn't otherwise be there.
Real work.
Real numbers.
The work,
in their words.
Each clinic, camp, and partnership produces measurable change in athlete wellbeing, identity, and physical health — captured directly from the young people, coaches, and whānau who lived it.
Lead from the front row.
Limited spots per intake. Register your interest and we'll confirm your athlete's place in the next programme cycle.
The brief for funders
and corporate partners.
Two pages. Foundation purpose, programme model, governance structure, and the outcomes your funding underwrites — written for the people who decide where capital goes.
This isn't a logo placement. It's a seat at the table while the table is still being built — and the brands that come in at the foundation level own the story.
