NZ’s Elite Coaches to Receive More Support

21 November 2014

Netball New Zealand (NNZ) is pleased to announce a new High Performance Coach Programme to support the development of high performance Netball coaches in New Zealand.

This key area of development for NNZ is to ensure elite coaches are getting the ongoing support and development needed to ensure sustainability and longevity in the sport.

This programme was devised following an assessment of coaches in the NZ netball system by High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ) who has supported NNZ’s development of the new programme.

NNZ Chief Executive Hilary Poole says New Zealand’s high performance Netball coaches are among the best in the world and the additional support the new programme will provide will allow these coaches to continue to develop their coaching careers.

“Providing our coaches with a sustained development programme and support to cater specifically to their needs is vital if we want our teams to continue winning international tournaments and events,” she said.

NNZ will provide more support to New Zealand coaches within the High Performance Coaching framework that covers both theory and practical application of coaching in the High Performance environment. They will each have their own personal development plans and mentoring, assistance with leadership development and formulation of winning strategies.

The following high performance coaches have been identified to receive support within the High Performance Coach Programme:

Mary-Jane Araroa, Charissa Barham, Marianne Delaney, Margaret Forsyth, Debbie Fuller, Nic Kelly, Yvette McCausland-Durie, Julie Seymour, Paula Smith, Janine Southby, Noeline Taurua, Kiri Wills and Helene Wilson.

The coaches will gain the opportunity for cross sport experience whilst having access to the Silver Ferns and ANZ Championship environments.
