About the Hawke's Bay Team
HUNGERBALL® is available for hire in the Hawke’s Bay region through HUNGERBALL® operator Jake Ward. Activations are also coordinated and run by Sport Hawke’s Bay, primarily focusing on delivery to schools.
Jake started playing football when he was about 12 years old, and by the age of 17, he had found his niche, coaching the beautiful game. He has coached with Wellington clubs and operated HUNGERBALL® Otago prior to his move to Hawke’s Bay in 2026.
“At a HUNGERBALL® holiday programme event there was a child who had struggled to engage with the other kids. The only day he went home with a smile was when he played HUNGERBALL® and when we received the feedback, I found out HUNGERBALL® was the only fun thing he had done since his dad had died. That had a really big impact on me. I’ll never forget it.”
“HUNGERBALL® appeals to me because I’ve seen how much everybody enjoys playing the game. It’s a game that everyone is involved, and nobody misses out.”
