Our Add-up Programme supports our rangatahi to realise their potential in hauora through sport.
The Story Behind Add Up Performance
The Past: Add Up began around 2010 as a way to support senior touch rugby teams. Over time, it naturally evolved into helping young whānau members and friends build their fitness and speed as they pursued their sporting aspirations.
The Present: By 2024 and into 2025, the number of athletes training under Coach Bomm had grown well beyond the teams he originally coached. His mission remains steadfast, to deliver high quality training for our tamariki while ensuring that cost is never a barrier for whānau doing it tough.
The Future: As we move past 2025, Add Up Performance continues to grow stronger than ever. The programme is dedicated to lifting the standard of youth athletic development while keeping training accessible, empowering the next generation of athletes to reach their full potential.
The man with a plan
Kia ora, I’m Henare Tahuri, though many know me as Coach Bomm! I’ve spent years as both a player and coach across a range of sports including Touch Rugby, League, Basketball, and Boxing. More recently, I’ve focused on strength and speed training to help young athletes take their performance to the next level.
My true passion lies in working with tamariki, guiding them to unlock their full potential. I believe in developing not only skilled athletes but also coachable, disciplined, and determined young leaders who thrive both on and off the field.
I’m also fortunate to have an awesome team of dedicated coaches behind me, people who put in the hours and hard mahi to bring this kaupapa to life. Together, we’re here to push, support, and inspire our tamariki to be their very best.
