One myth about sport every parent should know

The Team from ACC New Zealand

All parents and grandparents should be aware of this myth about youth sport: Following an intensive training programme in a single sport at a young age does not increase your kid’s chances of becoming a world champion. A more realistic outcome is early burnout, loss of motivation and potential … View moreAll parents and grandparents should be aware of this myth about youth sport: Following an intensive training programme in a single sport at a young age does not increase your kid’s chances of becoming a world champion. A more realistic outcome is early burnout, loss of motivation and potential mental health issues in later life.

Since 2008 we’ve seen a 60% surge in sporting injuries among under 14s. This is twice that of any other age group.

We’ve talked with the experts to discover how to maintain Kiwi kids’ sporting balance, and how you can help them reach their potential:

A 9th Queensland Fruit Fly was trapped on 31 May, within the Zone A (red zone) in Birkenhead Point, 80 metres from the previous find. There have still been no larvae, pupae or female flies found to date.
There is no change to the Birkenehad Point Zone A (red zone) or the Zone B (yellow zone), however the Northcote Point Zone A (red zone) has been removed.
For more information, see: www.biosecurity.govt.nz...

From Biosecurity:
"We know that fruit flies are not active over the winter months, which means they wouldn't find their way into a trap. If there are still any out there, they will lay low somewhere warm until spring, which is when we will again step up operational activities. We are considering retaining the Controlled Area Notice, which restricts the movement of fruit and vegetables at a B Zone intensity throughout winter as a precautionary measure to prevent 'stowaway' fruit flies from getting out of the area. Biosecurity New Zealand will give residents plenty of advanced warning if some controls are to remain."
