Coaching Overview


Hi coaches,
I hope you are all taking a well deserved break from netball coaching now the season is over, with just the end of year team celebrations to enjoy. 
I am writing to ask you to consider your involvement in the player development area of Selwyn Netball Centre in 2027. 
To deliver our programmes we are dependent on wonderful volunteers with skills such as yours. The plan is to deliver pre-season netball preparation sessions in term 1 for U16 and U18, leading into representative team selections and the representative team programme.  For the year 7/8 age group the usual player development sessions will run in May. 
I am currently asking for expressions of interest for coaches, selectors and managers to cover these areas. 
Please complete this form to register your interest.
At this stage I am particularly keen to know if we have enough coaches available to take the pre season sessions in term 1. These will be for U16 and U18 and replace the emerging talent sessions.
Ngā mihi,
Deb Johnson 
SNC Development Officer


Coaching is a great way to connect with your community, share your knowledge and give back to our future generations. We have a variety of levels of teams, right from grass roots Year 1-2, all the way up to our Premier league.

Whether you are brand new to your coaching journey, or are already a coach that would like more support or development, we're here to help and would love to hear from you.

 Any queries please contact Debbie, our Development Officer.

What we can offer you:

  • For coaches of our FutureFERNS Year 1-8 players we run a coach workshop for each age group before the season commences

  •  NNZ Coaching Framework modules including Community Coach Award Level 1 and 2 qualifications

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. 

Club Coach Sessions 

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.
