Netball New Zealand’s High Performance Strategy includes a commitment to creating a “world-class” coaching environment.

A key part of this is the High Performance Coach Development programme (HPCD).

HPCD is a facilitated formal and informal programme designed to challenge and support the individual development of elite coaches.

Coaches must be engaged with the development of identified elite athletes within the High Performance Pathway.

HPCD provides both individual and interactive group forum opportunities to support the development of our elite coaches:

Individual Activities

• Learner-centred
• Place the coach in the driving seat allowing them to steer the direction of their learning.
• Based on individual needs and the capability requirements of their coaching level.
• Individual Development Performance Plans (IDPP)

Group Activities

• Learner-centred
• Common themes identified and workshops offered providing opportunities for the coaches to collaboratively engage in development.

A learner-centred approach allows NNZ to create a coaching culture that is driven by an intrinsic desire to develop the skills and capability to produce Silver Ferns who WIN.
