Coach Development

SQUASH NEW ZEALAND COACHING FRAMEWORK

The Coaching Framework is built on four Core Beliefs:

The framework consists of online learning (which coaches can do at their own pace) and practical modules. The practical modules enable coaches to contextualise the online learning and put it into practice on the court. A prerequisite to attending a practical course is completing the required online modules outlined below. These modules are delivered by approved Squash New Zealand Coach Developers. 

Within the framework, coaches can choose to work towards an award or pick areas that they are interested in. For those working towards an award, the requirements must be completed within a three-year period.

COACH DEVELOPERS

Coach Developers are the people that go out and develop, support and motivate squash coaches so they are able to provide their players and athletes with fun, safe and quality squash experiences.

Coach Developers have a background that includes academic work in coaching and/or education, professional development experiences, and relevant coaching qualifications. Squash New Zealand contracts Coach Developers to deliver the development opportunities within our framework.

To maintain and improve the quality of the coach development opportunities these Coach Developers undergo training overseen by Squash New Zealand. This includes both Squash New Zealand and industry training.
