Who Are we? - NSW Tonga Sports Association
The NSW Tonga Sports Association is a volunteer-led community organisation dedicated to empowering Tongan youth through sport, culture, and connection.
Founded with a deep sense of purpose, we exist to create safe, inclusive, and inspiring spaces where young people of Tongan heritage can thrive — both on and off the field.
Our strength lies in our people: coaches, mentors, parents, and community members who give their time, knowledge, and heart to support the next generation.
Through every program, event, and interaction, we honour our culture, serve our community, and build pathways that help our youth grow into proud, confident leaders.
Join Our Journey. Make a Difference.
Whether you’re a coach, mentor, manager, parent, or supporter — your skills and heart can help shape the future of our Tongan youth.
Be part of a community that empowers, inspires, and gives back.
