ABOUT THE GREATER AUCKLAND COACHING UNIT
Connecting Coaches
The Greater Auckland Coaching Unit (GACU) is all about you, the coach.
GACU has been formed to deliver the CoachForce programme in a singular consistent model and to provide coach development services to the wider coaching community.
The Auckland regional coaching approach consists of the formation of a regional governance unit (Greater Auckland Coaching Unit) whose function will be two fold:
-
The first, to deliver the SPARC lead CoachForce programme in a singular consistent model across targeted NSOs and RSOs of greater Auckland;
-
The second, to provide coach development services to non-CoachForce codes and the wider coaching community.
GACU will lead the development of a Auckland regional coaching strategy that:
- Supports sporting codes to create improved pathways to recruit, retain and upskill coaches at all levels;
- Develop a regional funding plan to streamline funding for coaches in the greater Auckland region and
- Transfer skills, knowledge and best practice initiatives across the region.
