About the Netball NZ Coach Accreditation Pathway

In 2007 Netball NZ made some significant changes to the Coaching Accreditation System and how it is delivered throughout the regions.  Now into it's 2nd year the Starting Out in Coaching courses are going well.  More modules are now being introduced for 2008.  For a copy of the current Coaching Accreditation Pathway, click here

The ‘Starting out in Coaching’ courses have replaced Introductory and Level 1 courses and are specifically targeted at the level of coaching.  At present there are three levels offered - Future Ferns, Junior (Y7 & Y8) and Secondary School/Senior.  Netball NZ has produced a Coaching Tool Kit (available from Sports Distributors) which is used as a resource alongside these courses. 

2008 saw the introduction of Developing Modules which replace Level 2 courses.  These modules are presented in a variety of formats - workbooks, online, workshops presented by NNZ and Regions.  There are pre-requisites and assessments for some of the modules.  The Coaching Toolkit is required.  The first module 'Understanding the Players' is available online to complete in your own time.  Click here to go to the online module.
