New Zealand Football Coach Development are delighted to announce the next NZF Community Coach Developer Training course in conjunction with WaiBOP Football Federation. 

Coach Developers perform a key function in the coaching system and we are on the lookout for enthusiastic and ambitious Coach Developers to help grow the federation coaching fraternity. This is a vital role facilitated through our 7 member Federations which will help shape the future of football provision across the country. 

The course helps to familiarise Coach Developers with the philosophy, theory and delivery styles adopted by NZF. It will showcase examples of skills, knowledge and methods to deliver a high quality formal Community Coach Education course, covering areas such as presentation, communication and facilitation skills, with a particular focus on helping adults learn to become good community football coaches. 

The 3-day non-residential course will take place at the home of Cambridge Football Club, John Kerkhof Park, and runs from 9.30am – 3.30pm on Tuesday 27th to Thursday 29th of March, 2018 with full attendance required throughout. 

We are inviting applications from club based Football Development Officers, Directors of Coaching / Football and other prospective Coach Developers who wish to help continue the ongoing evolution of Community Coach Education courses that are part of the NZF Coach Education Pathway launched in 2015. 

Applications can be made online and must be lodged with a current football CV by Monday 26 February. These should be sent through via email to coaching@nzfootball.co.nz. 

Applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application by Friday 2 March following a review by a selection panel. 

New Zealand Football Coach Development are covering all costs of the course and are able to make this available free of charge for all successful applicants. 

Should you require any further information, please feel free to get in touch with Alec Wilson on alec.w@waibop.co.nz.
