Coach Development

Auckland Water Polo is passionate about providing well developed pathways and resources to our coaches, who are key members of our sporting community.

In 2024, AWP has started expanding the coach development space and opportunities and will look to build on this momentum in the coming years. More knowledgeable coaches will lead to better players, and in turn a higher, more competitive competition and more enjoyment all around.

The following coaching development opportunities are available to coaches in 2024:

  1. Coach Workshops- 8 across the year, covering different topics and phases of the game and coaching (follow link here for more info).

  2. Holiday Camps- in the school holidays, international coaching experts will run holiday camps for AWP, aimed at improving the technical skill of goalies, centre backs/forwards as well as perimeter players (follow link here for more info).

  3. Technical meetings- prior to each competition start, technical meetings will be held to allow club coaches to ask rule related questions to NZ’s leading referees.
