March 28, 2022

What does good look like when it comes to trials and selections?

Selections and trials is always a hot topic. Take a look at the replay of the Sport NZ Webinar where Alex Chiet, National Sport Development Consultant at Sport New Zealand, along with special guests, Dave Wright from High Performance Sport New Zealand, Chris Campbell from Upper Hutt College, and hockey's very own Bjorn Dix from Wellington Hockey, discusses youth sport trials and selection processes.


The webinar covers off,

  • Key challenges and pitfalls to look out for when organising trials and selection processes.
  • What participant-centred trials and selection processes look like.
  • Three key factors to consider for the design, development and implementation of any trials and selection processes.
  • How age, stage of development and motivation of participants should be factored into trials and selection processes.
