Add-Up Performance
“Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tuohu koe me he maunga teitei” | “Seek the treasure you value most dearly; if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain””
Our Add-Up Programme empowers rangatahi to reach their full potential through determination, dedication and discipline.
The Story Behind Add Up Performance
The Past: Add Up was founded by Coach Bomm 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: On the 28th of February 2024, the Add-Up Programme signed an MoU with Te Puna Ariki Charitable Trust and officially became part of Te Puna Ariki’s structure. Since then, the number of athletes training under Add Up has grown incredibly (almost doubled). Our aim is to deliver high quality, safe, and engaging training for our tamariki, ensuring our rangatahi are supported to reach their goals.
The Future: As we move into the future, Add Up continues to grow stronger than ever. The programme is dedicated to lifting the standard of youth athletic development while keeping training accessible, and empowering the next generation to reach their full potential. Now operating from our own facility, Te Whare Whakaruruhau o Te Puna Ariki, the sky is our limit.
Our Head Coach:
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 with 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.

Our next intake will open on: 29 June 2026

With over 120 rangatahi already part of the kaupapa, the programme is delivered across four cohorts, grouped by age and ability to ensure the best possible development experience. These are Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platnium.
Rangatahi are expected to commit to two training sessions per week. Our current training days are Monday’s and Wednesdays (Te Whare Whakaruruhau o Te Puna Ariki - 15 Scott Street, Rotorua)
