Squash New Zealand Annual Report 2012 Numbers and Feedback So far a total of 539 individual coaches have taken part in 1263 coach development modules which has far exceeded expectations. Last year we had 322 coaches completing 587 modules which means we have had a further 217 new coaches join the framework in 2011-12 and a total of 676 module deliveries. A big thanks should go to the Districts and their facilitators for the great job that they have done in promoting and delivering the coaching framework The feedback from the modules has been extremely positive and is as follows – Very Good 2,536, Good 1,363, Appropriate 262, Poor 2, Very Poor 0. Too Long 12 and Too Short 8 It should be noted that the poor feedback related to the venue/facility from the participants own club rather than the module itself! CoachForce Projects In 2011 Districts were invited to apply to Squash NZ for project funding for coaching related projects across the country. This was done in conjunction with funding from the New Zealand Community Trust whose assistance is gratefully acknowledged. In 2011-12 applications were across two periods with the last two quarters of 2011 – 12 till March already contracted followed by six month contracts to September 2012. This was done to align with the Squash NZ financial year. We saw some great projects put in place not just around the delivery of the modules but also assisting club junior and senior coaching programmes, informal workshops and ongoing coach mentoring. New contracts begin October 2012 through till September 2013. National Coaching Awards The Coach of the Year Awards were adapted in 2010 to align with the New Coach Development Framework offering 3 awards, New Coach of the Year, Club and School Coach of The Year and Performance Coach of the Year. The deserved winners for the 2010-11 year were • New Coach of the Year – Nirelle MacDonald (Northland) • Club and School Coach Of the Year Nick Wiffen (Wellington-Nelson Bays) • Performance Coach of the Year Mark Waldin (Auckland) Summary The last 12 months has seen an even bigger buy in to the coach development framework and resources from around the country with some great things now happening in many Districts. One of the key outcomes that is emerging from the framework is that now people are more willing to engage in coach development. They have some resources to refer to and are gaining in confidence in their coaching deliveries. The accessibility and specific nature of modules has bought more people into our squash coaching arena who have previously sat out which can only be good for the game. The completion of the framework will take time as we are constrained at times by time and money. This is however perfect for the learner to engage in some learning opportunities and then consolidate in the coaching arena. The slower roll out will ensure there are always new development opportunities for all coaches. I believe that we are on the right track to delivering some great resources for coaches in New Zealand. For this to be sustainable we must work together and support each other for the benefit of the squash players across New Zealand, creating an environment where coaches are both valued and recognized for their efforts. Keep up the good work coaches! Dave Clarke National Coaching Director 18
