Netball Wellington Centre Coach Cohort
Our Coach Cohort was an exciting initiative trialled in 2022 with resounding success. The concept helps keen coaches complete their Netball New Zealand CCA1 and CCA2 coach accreditation in a condensed period of time. Attendees power through 16 compulsory topics in a short concentrated time within an environment that embraces theory, practical and insightful discussion. While broadening powerful connections with like-minded coach peers, attendees learn from each other. Essentially 32 hours of volunteer upskilling is halved to roughly 16 hours to achieve two nationally recognised awards. Intake may be restricted to foster quality delivery and participant interaction. Dates/times to be scheduled around Netball Central Zone offerings.
If interested in being notified of future Cohort inclusion, we invite you to email ndo@netballwellington.co.nz.
General development opportunities for the benefit of athletes, parents, coaches, managers, coach developers.
