- Rookie and Emerging Sox Pitching/Catching programmes
- The battery plays a key role in the success of a team but not many coaches are confident in helping develop these positions.
- SNZ is looking for coaches to become accreditied for Rookie and Emerging Sox pitching Catching coaches.
- Softball New Zealand and WBOPSA would like to offer pitching and catching sessions locally to assist in club player development through our Rookie Sox Pitching/Catching Programme. This would provide players the opportunity weekly to develop in comparison to one off clinics at their own softball club, reducing travel.

SOFTBALL NEW ZEALAND COACH DEVELOPMENT COURSES
- Softball New Zealand Coaching Course Presenters Guidelines for Clubs & Associations Booklet Click here
- SNZ is very much reliant on our loyal softball community to assist with the development of coaches in the regions. We as an Association are encouraged to hold courses for Coaches (Representative & Club) to ensure they receive the education required to up skill themselves and their players.
- Moving forward coaching course presenters will receive suitable remuneration for the role. A key aspect however is that presenters must now be aligned to a Club or Association. It is the responsibility of the Club or Association to identify a person who is accountable for the receipting requirements for each course undertaken. Clubs and Associations are also responsible for the planning and organisation of any coaching modules.
- The attached document has full details on what the expectations are for our presenters, Clubs and Associations. Also listed in the booklet is a revised payment schedule for course presenters.
- If you are aware of anyone in WBOP that has the skills and experience to become a competent and capable for these coaching courses as a presenter, then please let Senior Co-Ordinator or WBOPSA President know. To become approved requires the completion of an application form to formalise the process and ascertain the level the applicant is competent of delivering.
