The programme will combine three online workshops in November with a two day in person learning experience at Lincoln University, Canterbury, providing participants with opportunities to learn, connect and develop practical Coach Developer skills.
As part of Hockey NZ's commitment to a connected and nationally aligned coach development system, the programme will help build a stronger network of Coach Developers who can support quality coach learning experiences across New Zealand.
Coach Developers will be nominated through their association. Anyone interested in attending is encouraged to speak with their association or contact Ben Owers, Hockey NZ Coaching Lead, ben.owers@hockeynz.co.nz, for further information.
