Netball NZ Community Coach Awards 1 & 2 Workshops 

The Community Coach Award (CCA) is for the development coach working with athletes from 12 – 18 years. It includes a set of modules which provide basic knowledge and skills to develop players at the community level. These modules are delivered and facilitated in a practical environment and are designed to help coaches understand the importance of using a player-centred approach. We are looking at dates as we have had to cancel the ones we had scheduled in February and March. Please let us know if you would like to have a one on one consultation or if you have a group of coaches that would be interested please also let us know and we can arrange a time and date with you to conduct these workshops.

The Player Centred Coaching online module is now live in the Learning and Development Portal. It is in the same area as Introduction to Netball Rules and NetballSmart - Developing Physical Capacity, therefore coaches that are already on the portal will now see the new module in the CCA Pre-Requisites area.  For coaches not yet in the portal they need to register: https://netballnz.brackenlearning.com/ and add the join code ‘ccapr18’. Attached is the user guide to instruct coaches on the registration and user process.

Each module cost $15 per person ($20 per person UNAFFILIATED) and are all held at the Papakura Netball Centre. Note: Payments must be made in full prior to the module commencing. Minimum of 5 paid registered applicants for the module to go ahead!
