Ōtautahi Sports Association is a whānau-based sports club at 485 Tuam Street in Phillipstown, Christchurch. It fields teams in rugby, netball, softball, touch, basketball and golden oldies, and it operates through all seasons of the year. The club's roots go back to 1969, when a rugby team was started by a group of young Māori families in Christchurch. The Association was set up in 1988 as an incorporated society. Its clubrooms were newly renovated and are now available for hire, and the club runs family events and a hauora programme for members of all ages. Some founding members came through the Māori Trade Training Scheme, which was based at Rehua Marae.
Customers who have used the clubrooms for a 21st birthday say they have been much improved since they were last there more than twenty years ago. Others describe a clean venue with plenty of parking, toilets upstairs, and great staff. One says the club is a good local place to hire for a function or event, and that children love the discos. For a team, a family event or a function in the central city, it is a good place to start with the clubrooms.
