Netball New Zealand Community Coach Awards (CCA)

NNZ Community Coach Award Level 1 & Level 2 (CCA 1 & CCA 2)

Typically, coaches are secondary school teachers, explayers, parents, older secondary school students and tertiary students.

CCA1 caters for the entry level development coach. The framework will provide coaches with the necessary skills to provide quality coaching up to and including U15 age group. Modules focus on the technical aspects of coaching. (Player Centred Coaching, Team Culture, Building Effective Relationships (BER), Planning, Defence 1, Skills Analysis, Attacking Fundamentals, Shooting, Selecting).


CCA 2 caters for the coach who wishes to gain more in-depth knowledge to support their coaching at the CCA 1 level. Modules focus on the tactical aspects of the game.
Attaining CCA Level 2 is also one of the pre-requisites for the Performance Coach Qualification (PCQ). There are also formal observations of coaching practice required at this level.

The ideal Community Coach will:

  • Nurture a love of Netball
  • Coach in a Player-Centred approach
  • Growth Mindset
  • Focus on skill development, decision making and a nonlinear approach to skill development
  • Reinforce ethical approaches to sport and recreation
  • Understand they’re in the business of creating not only better players, but better people
  • Have a sense of working in a wider coaching community with similar goals

Coach development for these coaches focuses on a range of modules which cater for a variety of coaching needs at two levels.

Entry into the Community Coach Award requires coaches to complete three pre-requisite modules which are integral to the Coaching Framework.

  • Player-Centred Coaching
  • Introduction to Netball Rules
  • NetballSmart – Growing Physical Capability
