Coaching Qualifications 

If you are interested in gaining NNZ Coaching qualifications or keen to develop your coaching skills further, we can deliver any of the NNZ Coaching Framework modules.  The modules include an online portion which can be completed in your own time through Sports Tutor and then a practical portion completed at a workshop.

Providing we have a minimum of five to six coaches we are happy to organise to deliver any of these workshops either at the Centre or at your Club.

Coach Developers are available to run either informal coaching sessions or CCA1 and CCA2 workshops at your clubs at a time that suits you. This is a great alternative if you have a group of enthusiastic coaches who enjoy working and developing together.  Get in touch if you would like to organise a session.
