The following are our guidelines to you as a Coach:

  • Display a professional manner with regard to language, preparation, planning and presentation
  • Ensure that equipment and facilities meet safety standards and are appropriate to the age and ability of players
  • Encourage effort and skill, this will increase self-esteem and self confidence
  • Remember a player's main reason for playing is fun
  • Be a role model for the principles of Fairplay and ensure players display the same qualities
  • Show respect and encourage players to show respect for opponents, team-mates, umpires, officials and spectators
  • Ensure players enjoy and develop their skills and play by using positive, specific and constructive feedback
  • Avoid over-playing the talented players.  The "just average" players need and deserve equal time
  • Make a personal commitment to keep yourself informed of sound coaching principles
  • Attend (or ensure a representative attends on your behalf) the MANC Coaches Meeting (preseason)
  • Smoke Free Policy and Drug and Banned Substances Policy 
  • Encourage respect for these policies while practising and playing at the Christchurch Netball Centre, at club functions and at any time when in club uniform
