Pass It Forward

Pass It Forward at Rebel Sport is about giving every Kiwi kid the chance to get active and enjoy sport. With every Pass It Forward ball you buy, another ball is donated to a local school, club, or community that needs it most.

How it works

This initiative is built on a simple idea—when you purchase a ball, you give one too. Rebel Sport partners with Silver Fern, New Zealand’s longest-standing ball manufacturer, and the Tania Dalton Foundation to make this possible. Together, we’re helping break down one of the biggest barriers to participation in sport: access to the right equipment. From rugby and netball to football and basketball, having the right ball means more kids can join in, learn skills, and feel part of the team.

Why it matters

Sport has the power to bring communities together, build resilience, and create lifelong friendships. But for many, the cost of equipment can be a hurdle. Pass It Forward ensures that every purchase directly impacts a child’s ability to play, making sport more inclusive and accessible across New Zealand. Each ball shared is more than just equipment—it’s an opportunity for kids to grow in confidence, stay active, and experience the joy of teamwork.

Make a difference with every ball

When you choose a Pass It Forward ball, you’re doing more than adding to your kit—you’re giving another young Kiwi the chance to play. Whether it’s a netball at a school court, a rugby ball on a muddy field, or a basketball at a local hoop, your purchase creates real opportunities. It’s a way to support grassroots sport while knowing that your contribution will have a lasting impact in the community.

Join Rebel Sport in creating brighter futures for young athletes. Every Pass It Forward ball is a step towards ensuring that every child, no matter where they are, has the tools to participate, enjoy, and thrive in sport.
