Having completed the online course, the Touch NZ Foundation Coaching (Level One) ‘Practical’ course targets coaches looking to develop their skills to the level of junior and secondary school representatives and adult social and competitive grades.
The 2.5-hour workshop will utilise practical delivery, group discussion, and scenario-based tasks to develop confidence and knowledge in touch coaching environments.
Most provinces in New Zealand expect junior provincial coaches to have the Foundation Coaching Certificate as a minimum standard.
