Coaches benefit from workshop that helps them plan better sessions

Thirty-two coaches have benefitted from a coaching clinic hosted by Amigene Metcalfe and Andrew Douglas at the Hautapu Sports Club.

The evening workshop on April 19 covered how to plan sessions, ways to make sessions productive and demonstrated types of games and drills to use and adapt during sessions.

The workshop was particularly helpful for coaches of junior teams and players.

Andrew Douglas, who is the general manager of Hautapu Sports Club, thanked all the coaches who attended and said the club would soon run sport-specific coaching sessions.
