Whether you're new to coaching or looking to expand your event-specific expertise, these CAD Level 1 courses offer practical learning from experienced ACE coaches.

Delivered by ACE coach Brent Booker.

A NOTE ABOUT COACH MEMBERSHIP
To attend a CAD Level 1 course, coaches are required to hold an Athletics New Zealand Coach Membership.
Not a member yet? Don't let that stop you. You can still attend by emailing [email protected] with the course you'd like to attend, and Kelly will register you manually.
To complete your coach membership, you'll also need to complete a short 20-minute online safeguarding module and submit a police vetting form. If these requirements are still outstanding, that's okay. Kelly will follow up with you after the course to help get everything completed.
Each course costs $15 per event and is available to fully compliant Community Coaches.
Please register using the QR code on the relevant course flyer.

These courses are a fantastic opportunity to gain the fundamental knowledge required to coach your chosen event while connecting with other coaches across Auckland.
Whether you're already coaching, considering becoming a coach, or simply wanting to learn more about a particular event, we'd love to see you there.
Let's continue building a strong coaching community and supporting the development of athletics across Auckland.
Interested but not sure which course is right for you? Feel free to contact [email protected] for a chat.

Our deepest condolences

Remembering Peter King

It is with sadness that we share the news of the passing of longtime Pakuranga Athletic Club member Peter King, who passed away on Wednesday 21 October.

Peter and his late wife Coral had a long association with the club, dating back to the early days of our Harrier section, with their daughters Lisa and Cindy also involved in athletics.

Although work commitments took Peter and Coral away from the club for a number of years, they remained part of the Pakuranga Athletic Club family.

Peter later rejoined our Joggers and Walkers section, where he enjoyed the friendship and camaraderie of fellow members. Many will remember Peter behind the BBQ at our annual Joggers and Walkers gatherings, keeping everyone well fed!

Our sincere condolences go to Lisa, Cindy and the wider King family. Peter will be fondly remembered by his many friends at Pakuranga Athletic Club.

Funeral details: Thursday 29 October, 11.30am, St Columba Church, Ti Rakau Drive.

Rest in peace, Peter. ❤️
