About GACU

GACU Purpose

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 & 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.
