Webinar 1: Getting Child Safeguarding Right
Sat 11 Sep
How can you create a safe, fair and inclusive environment for young people in sport?
With everyone doing their part during COVID-19 to keep Aotearoa safe, it’s a good time to think about how this can be extended to youth sport to create positive experiences for tamariki to keep them engaged in sport and activity as they grow.
To close out NZ Child Protection Week, we’ll be joined by special guests Ruth Browning from Safeguarding Children and Badminton NZ CEO, Joe Hitchcock, to look at how you and your club can focus on child protection and create a safe environment. If you’re a coach, administrator or parent who will be interacting with tamariki, this is not one to miss!
Webinar 2: Trials and Selections – What does good look like?
Tue 14 Sep
Are you a coach or administrator and starting to think about those pre-season trials and selections? Wondering what makes a good process?
While COVID-19 has put the brakes on sport for a little while, why not use some of that extra time to join us tomorrow for the second edition of our webinar series. Hear from Sport NZ Development Consultant, Alex Chiet, and special guests on how to run trials and selections in a way that promotes balance and keeps kids engaged in sport for longer.
Webinar 3: The art and science of coaching young women
Tue 21 Sep
Are you coaching a young women’s team this season? It’s widely known that a ‘one size fits all’ coaching approach isn’t the best for player development. What do you need to know as a coach to make sure you create a great environment for young women to grow in their sport once we’re back in action?
Join Sport NZ and special guests, Sharon Kearney from Netball NZ and physiotherapist Kylie Cox, for this special webinar focused on what coaches need to know from a bio-physical standpoint to support the development of adolescent females this season.
Webinar 4: Preparing for a successful season – What coaches need to know
Sun 26 Sep
I’m sure we’re all ready to return to the playing fields for the season after a slightly longer break than expected thanks to COVID-19 lockdown, but what should you be thinking about as a coach to make the best use of this extra time?
Tune in tomorrow evening to hear from our Community Coaching expert Andy Rogers and internationally-acclaimed coaching consultant Dr Wade Gilbert on what coaches should be thinking about before the upcoming season to make this one of the best seasons yet.

Parents are often faced with difficult decisions when it comes to how they can best support their children in sport.
Join our Sport NZ Development Consultant and parenting expert, Kelly Curr, and special guest Simone Spencer, GoodSports lead from Aktive, for a discussion on how to best set children up for success this season through applying the GoodSports approach.
