Managers Seminar
We had to cancel this course for 2008 due to lack to participants - since then we have had many requests for the course to be run, and at present we are looking to run a course for Managers in 2009. It will be of particular interest to beginning managers or those who would like the opportunity to find out more about the role. so keep an eye on this space for details early 2009

Netball New Zealand Courses
Netball NZ Coach Development Pathway and Framework - Netball NZ's new framework for coach development.
The new system for coach development is to firstly attend a Starting Out in Coaching Workshop. These are organised by your local netball centre. On attending this course you will receive a Coaches Toolkit which content includes;
- Athlete development
- Netball Specific - technical, tactical, rules, performance enhancement
- Leadership and planning
- Coaching Process
The next step is to attend the coaching modules.
Only two of the modules are compulsory - "Understanding the Player" (also available online from NNZ's site) and "Player Centred Coaching". Coaches must complete the module 'Understanding the Player" (unless you have attended the NNZ Level 2 or 3 workshops within the last three years) before attending the first session on Player Centred Coaching (which is recommended for Level 2 and 3 coaches to attend).
Modules explained more on the attached - Module Explanation
Netball NZ no longer run the Level 2 and Level 3 coaching awards. We encourage you to complete these awards if you have already started, so please contact the office to organise completing either the Level 2 assignment or practical, or if you need help with the Level 3 assignments.
NOTE: The deadline to complete all Level 2s and Level 3s is 2009. For more information see Netball NZ
