    Sport NZ/Ihi Aotearoa topics:

    • Getting started in coaching
      Are you a ‘new’ coach? Coaching is a positive and fun way to give back to sport and/or the community. However, coaching becomes even more fun, for the coach and the participants, when the coach keeps learning about coaching. The purpose of the module is to give you some general information about how to coach young or beginner participants. Some of the information will be new to you, some of it you may know from your own experiences in sport, or perhaps as a parent or a teacher. But whatever your background, we hope the information here will increase your confidence to coach, and inspire you to learn more about how you can help the children (or beginner adults) you coach have a fun and quality experience. Enjoy the activities in the module and happy coaching!
    • Coaching Safety Net
      Create an enjoyable safe sporting environment for participants and coaches. The purpose of the Coaching Safety Net Module is to give you some ideas about how to create a safe sporting environment. For beginner participants (children or adults), fun is a key reason they get involved in and stay in sport. But for sport to be fun, it needs to be safe (for the participants and the coach). Some of the information in the module is common sense, and some may be new to you. Either way, we hope this module helps you to make sport safe and fun for the participants and yourself.
    • Child safeguarding bite-sized learning series
      How can you play your part to create a safe, positive environment for young people taking part in active recreation and sport? This series of bite-sized learning is aimed at anyone working with or supporting children and will help you understand topics such as motivations of children, building trusted relationships and understanding the different needs for ages and stages of development.
    • Inclusion: A Response to Discrimination
      Aims to help you understand what an inclusive, supportive and safe environment looks like and the impact of your actions on people. You will explore ways that you can support others who may face discrimination in the sector.
    • Sport Safe
      For all paid and volunteer workers in the sport and recreation sector. Takes approximately 20-40 minutes to complete depending on your prior knowledge and experience.After completing this course you will be able to: identify who is responsible for what when it comes to health and safety, identify what your rights are as a paid or volunteer worker, describe some of the systems and processes that are used to keep everyone safe and having fun, identify and manage hazards​​​​​​​​​

    In addition to Netball New Zealand content users may also access a library of additional online learning once registered.  Other sporting organisations using the same platform include Sport NZ/Ihi Aotearoa, Touch NZ, NZ Rugby League and Special Olympics with more getting involved over time.

    Sport New Zealand/Ihi Aotearoa - Flow On Effect Series

    Off the back of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™, Sport NZ has received funding from the Government’s leverage and legacy programme to ensure the event has a lasting impact for our communities and to kick start conversations in many areas related to female health and wellbeing. 

    We’re aiming to increase education and awareness about female health and menstruation in physical activity, while working to address period poverty. 

    The Flow on Effect is a Sport NZ initiative about: 

    • reducing barriers and stigma around menstruation
    • providing information for adults supporting young people to be physically active
    • empowering rangatahi to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing while staying active.

    Whether you’re a young person or an adult supporting a young person, check out the resources and stories here​​​​​​
