COACHING​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A VITAL ROLE

Coaches are a vital piece of the puzzle within all sports. Whether you are a volunteer, a parent, or a paid coach, you have the opportunity to influence tamariki and rangatahi to enjoy sport, develop movement skills, and participate for life. Coaching is an amazing way to enrich your life, connect with your community, and stay involved in sports.

VOICE OF THE COACH SURVEY

Sport Northland conducts a Voice of the Coach Survey bi-annually to gather insights from coaches in the Northland region. 

Insights are used to guide the direction of our coaching mahi to ensure we are enhancing opportunities for Northland coaches to flourish, thrive and enjoy their journey.
