Aotearoa Coaches Association

THANK YOU to all for supporting our Launch and Fundraiser last week!

As a group of coaches looking to expand our capabilities overseas and in return improve our local coaching environments, we are extremely grateful and appreciative of all the support on what was a fun social night!

We hope you all enjoyed the night as much as we did.

Our sponsors were extremely generous in supporting, they too share the same values we do in sports. If any items you saw are of interest - that would be huge for them! We have tagged them on each page (give it a click!)

For us, we need to keep fundraising to hit our goals for January next 2025, please keep an eye on our socials for more opportunities to support and also follow our coaching journeys in Christchurch, we have some very cool opportunities and content to share soon! Our page is (where the post came from) you can also follow our main platform on Instagram `aotearoa.coaches.assoc’

Further infomation on the Association:

A proactive group of young coaches are looking to further their understanding, knowledge and how to apply those learning in order to better ourselves and improve the environments and communities we are a part of. Rather than be limited by the opportunities just in New Zealand as a group we want to challenge ourselves by experiencing and learning what football means in Europe, what it means to be a professional environment, the differing philosophies between countries and clubs and how they’ve connected and embedded football in their communities. We want to see more people playing football in New Zealand and improve their experience to become lifelong fans of the game.
