COACHING DEVELOPMENT

COACHING DEVELOPMENT AND RESOURCES

Volleyball Waikato values all coaches in our region. Passionate coaches are critical to the growth and success of the game in our region.

Coach development is about improving the knowledge and competency of our coaches so that they in turn enhance the performance of their athletes. Developing a single coach can lead to the development of many of players over a long period.

Volleyball Waikato want to support coaches in their volleyball journey by providing guidance, mentoring, coaching resources (technical and tactical), as well as offering coaching workshops.

WHY IS COACH DEVELOPMENT IMPORTANT?

Player Development

Coaches have a significant impact on their players' skill development and performance. A knowledgeable coach can help players reach their full potential and foster their love for the game.

Technical and Tactical

Volleyball is a highly technical and tactical sport. Coaches need to develop a deep technical and tactical understanding of the game including systems, formations, and strategies.

Positive Coaching Environment

Effective coaches know how to create a positive and supportive environment for their players. This fosters a healthy team culture and helps players perform at their best.

Long-Term Player Development

Volleyball Waikato believes that a strong coaching philosophy focuses on the long-term development of athletes. Coaches are encouraged to consider the athlete’s skill and physical development holistically, rather than for short term gain.

Continued Improvement

Coaching is a dynamic role that requires continuous learning and adaptation. This ongoing education ensures that coaches stay relevant and continue to grow in their coaching competency.

Professionalism and Ethics

Coach development emphasises the importance of professionalism and ethical conduct in coaching. Coaches learn to act as role models, demonstrating good sportsmanship and instilling discipline, perseverance and valuable life skills in their players.
