NZRL Coach Education Pathway

NZRL’s Coach Education Pathway ensures that all coaches have a clear understanding of what the standards and expectations are of a Kiwi Way Coach. All coaches need to complete the Founding Principles of Coaching the Kiwi Way and any other relevant online modules associated with a specific course. Once the online work is completed, they can progress to the face to face coaching course with an NZRL Coach Development facilitator. Once the course has been completed, and the facilitator is satisfied all outcomes of the course are met, coaching accreditation will be awarded and valid for two years.
To keep accreditation valid after two years (3 years for Kiwi League Elite & Performance) the coach will need to complete the extension modules offered online or in the form of NZRL approved coach development. This is to ensure coaches continue to meet the standards and expectations of a Kiwi Way Coach, and that a coaching growth mindset is developing.

 

Pathway and Education

COVID-19 has meant thousands of Kiwi kids have missed out on sport and the wellbeing benefits it provides. Coaches play a critical role in inspiring, connecting and caring for young people as they reintegrate back into their community sporting experiences.

This is a message from the athletes of Aotearoa New Zealand to all our Kiwi coaches.
