The Hockey NZ Developer Workshop has been designed in alignment to the Sport NZ Developer Programme, FIH Developer Programme and the learning captured through the Hockey NZ Developer Pilot.
The following associations are part of the Upper South Island Collective: Buller, Nelson, Marlborough, South Canterbury, Mid Canterbury, Canterbury, West Coast
Who should Apply?
A Developer is someone who supports the development of coaches. This may include working with coaches of players or coaches of officials in a school, club or association environment.
How a Developer supports a coaches learning can look many ways. This may include chatting one on one with a coach, observing a coach while they are working with their team, leading the delivery of a workshop in a classroom, or working with a group of coaches in a practical session out on the turf.
If you are someone who:
- is interested in supporting coaches to learn and open to learning
- Is interested in supporting your local association to lead on-going coach development opportunities
- may have experience in facilitating learning through hockey, your workplace or a volunteer role
- may already be providing support to coaches in your school, club or association
Then you should click here and apply.
Application Process
Anyone who wishes to attend the workshop will need to complete the online application form by the midnight on the 7th of November. The form will include a couple of open ended questions and an opportunity to share any additional information or questions.
Once the applications have closed, Hockey NZ will be in touch with each of the applicants to advise if they will be included in the workshop. Selections for the workshop will primarily be focused on identifying individuals who demonstrate an interest and potential to be a Developer. It is intended to have the majority, if not all, of the Upper South Island Associations represented at the workshop.
