The New Zealand Coaching Strategy commits to creating a world-class coaching environment in New Zealand, with a common purpose and inter-connected parts.
This environment will deliver significant coaching benefits to all athletes - regardless of age, race, status or location.
The strategy aims to ensure key people in coaching work more collaboratively for athletes' benefit. This will complement the efforts of New Zealand's many committed coaches and successful coaching programmes.

SPARC Volunteer Coach Awards
The SPARC Volunteer Coach Awards 2010 are an important opportunity to thank all the hard-working coaches making a huge difference to sport throughout New Zealand.
Without these coaches selflessly giving their time and experience, hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders would not be able to enjoy and grow their skills in grassroots sport.
Nominate a coach in your community and they receive a letter of thanks from Sport Wellington and could win one of 17 $100 sport vouchers. Nominations open till 8th September 2010 so nominate now!
