RANGATAHI COACHING PROGRAMME

Enhancing the development of student coaches across Northland

OVERVIEW 

The Rangatahi Coaching Programme is a beginner level coach education opportunity for Northland Secondary School students. The programme is administrated by Sport Northland, with Regional Sport Organisations collaborating to facilitate the workshops.  

In 2024, the pilot was run in the Whangarei district, successfully educating 100 students over a one-day course, with many of these students returning in July for a follow-up session.

Rangatahi Coaching Programme 2025  

The programme is expanding in 2025 to include schools in the Kaipara and Far North districts, with three workshops being held on the 19th, 20th and 28th February.  

Students hoping to participate in the programme should speak to their school sports coordinator to discuss whether the opportunity is available. Please note, it is a requirement that all students who attend the programme commit to coaching throughout the year.
