Māori Football Aotearoa x FYA
MORE THAN A BOTTLE.
Māori Football Aotearoa brings Māori together through the game - creating opportunities for players, whānau and communities to connect, compete and represent.
We're proud to partner with Māori Football to create an official Dual-Fuel bottle made for the players who wear the badge and the people who stand behind them.
We are also proud to help fund future Māori Football initiatives by raising funds through every sale - in fact 15% of every bottle or bundle goes back to MFA.
Help fund the future, choose your colour, add an optional name and number, and keep hydration and quick fuel together from the first whistle to the final game.

Name + number — $17.50
Add their name and playing number for a bottle that feels like part of their kit.

THE GAME-DAY REALITY
The bottle is there.
The fuel often isn’t.
Water usually makes it beside the field, court or pool.
The food is often somewhere else—buried in the kit bag, held by a parent, or sometimes never packed at all. When the break is short, young athletes can miss the chance to refuel simply because it isn’t within reach.
Young athletes need energy for everyday life, growth, training and competition. The IOC and Australian Institute of Sport recognise that sustained underfueling can affect both health and performance.
FYA’s role is practical: it keeps appropriate fuel with the bottle athletes already take, making it easier to pack, carry and reach.
Taking their bottle becomes a prompt to think about fuel too—helping make fueling part of their preparation routine.
THE DUAL-FUEL SYSTEM
We put fuel where the habit already exists.
Hydration above. Fuel below.
Young athletes already reach for their water bottle.
In our bottle, the removable 180 ml fuel pod twists securely beneath the 800 ml insulated water bottle chamber, so quick fuel stays separate from the drink but travels with it.
01 — FILL IT
Fill the insulated chamber with water and pack the removable pod with fuel suited to the session.
02 — BRING IT
Hydration and fuel travel together in one system.
03 — SIP + FUEL
Sip throughout the session. Twist off the pod when the next break arrives.
So that fueling becomes part of the bottle routine—not another thing to remember.
THE TOURNAMENT FUEL SYSTEM
The bottle keeps fuel close.
The guide tells you what and when.
Tournament days bring multiple games, short recovery windows, changing draws and long hours.
The Youth Athlete Tournament Fuel System turns sports science into a practical plan athletes and parents can use before, between and after games.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions before you buy
Can I choose a different colour for each bottle in a bundle?
Yes. Choose the colour of each bottle separately, so you can select matching bottles or mix Arctic Flame (Blue), Neon Flame (Pink) Storm (Navy) and Midnight Flame (Black). Each bottle comes with its matching lid and fuel pod.
What is included with the bottle?
Every bottle includes:
- One 800 ml insulated stainless-steel water chamber
- One removable 180 ml fuel pod
- One lockable, push-button flip-top lid
- The FYA Digital Performance Fueling Guide
What personalisation options are available?
You can choose:
- Name only — $15
- Name and number — $17.50
- Logo or approved custom design — $20
- Bespoke - designed with us, 10 concepts provided — $40
Personalised bottles may take up to 7 business days before dispatch. This timeframe begins once we have received all required wording and suitable artwork. We’ll contact you if an uploaded design cannot be reproduced clearly.
Is personalisation included in the bottle price?
No. Every bottle includes the official MFA logo, while player personalisation is optional and charged separately for each bottle.
For bundles, you can personalise every bottle, selected bottles or none.
For any questions about personalisation just email Ben and B at info@fuelingyoutathletes.com
How much is shipping, can I collect at the tournament and when will it arrive?
Shipping costs $10.95.
Bottles are shipped in 1 to 3 business days.
For personalised bottles, allow up to 7 business days for personalisation before dispatch.
Courier delivery time begins after the order has been dispatched, and tracking details will be emailed once the order is on its way.
What can I carry in the fuel pod?
The 180 ml pod can hold solid foods such as gummies, chews, jellybeans, dried fruit, pretzels, cereal, nuts, chopped fruit and small pieces of snack bar.
Avoid foods that melt easily or leave heavy residue.
It can also hold small essentials such as keys, jewellery or a clean, dry mouthguard.
Never store food and non-food items together, and wash and dry the pod thoroughly before changing how you use it.
Can I put liquids in the fuel pod?
No. The fuel pod is designed for solid food and other small items. Liquids should only be carried in the main insulated bottle chamber.
Does the food stay separate from the drink?
Yes. The removable fuel pod is a separate compartment that twists securely beneath the insulated water chamber, so the food never comes into contact with the drink.
Is the bottle leakproof?
The push-button lid includes an integrated lock and is designed to resist leaks in kit bags. Always close the lid completely and engage the lock before transporting it.
Is it dishwasher safe, and how should I clean it?
The bottle itself is top-rack dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended for the longest product life—especially for personalised bottles—to help protect the powder-coated finish and applied design.
Separate the bottle, lid and fuel pod, wash each part thoroughly and allow everything to dry completely before reassembling.
When is quick fuel useful?
Quick fuel can be useful during longer training sessions, games, tournaments, repeated games or short breaks when an athlete needs familiar fuel that is easy to reach.
We have people using it everyday at school, work, on the building site, in car trips, during walks and loads of other areas.
The bottle makes fuel more accessible, but families should still choose foods appropriate for the athlete, activity and timing.
Can personalised bottles be returned?
Personalised bottles are made to order and cannot be returned or exchanged because of a change of mind. They are also excluded from the 30-day Happiness Guarantee for change-of-mind returns.
If a personalised bottle is faulty, arrives damaged or does not match what you ordered, contact us and we’ll provide the appropriate remedy.
Let customers speak for us
Best drink bottle on the market - I lost mine to my teenage son within a day of buying it. So many positives about this bottle - the compartment to pop in some fuel for games/training, durable, great aesthetics, the mouth piece is perfect AND really easy to clean. Nothing not to love. Plus FYA and their messaging, values, and absolute commitment to teenage development makes it even easier to buy from, knowing it’s 2 incredibly hard working and inspiring people driving it. Fab!
Anna
My lad loves it. A definite hit in this house. Normally, we grab shin pads and shoes as we’re leaving the house… Now he’s thinking about things ahead and fuel is part of the prep.
Rich B.
My 12 year old son loves the drink bottle and the fuel component is handy for days he has longer trainings. He fatigues pretty easily at the moment with 1 1/2 to 2 hour swim trainings after school so we think this makes a big difference getting some quick carbs on board along with hydration right on pool deck.

The Dual-Fuel bottle has quickly become an essential part of my training and game day needs. The quality of drink bottle is fantastic. I’ve never had to worry about warm water and the mouth piece has been designed excellently. However, my favourite feature is definitely the fuel pod. Being a cricketer it is very difficult to sustain energy over the long durations of a game. Sometimes we can be in the field for a whole day! This is where the fuel pod comes in clutch. Being able to get quick and easy energy at drinks breaks has been a game changer. I would recommend making the switch to FYA to any athlete looking to maximise their game day potential.
Gus T.
Our two kids absolutely love their new drink bottles for so many reasons. The little compartment at the bottom for snacks is such a fantastic feature, and the size is perfect for them. They’re also thrilled with the colours. Overall, they’re very well designed and have been a huge hit in our household. Would highly recommend. Great service too!
Jonnelle G.
My daughter loves her new drink bottle. It’s perfect for a busy schedule of Ultimate Frisbee & summer Netball & means she can refuel with gummies or crackers between games, as well as staying hydrated - all in the one handy space.
She wouldn’t be without it 🙌🙌
