RANGATAHI ADVISORY GROUP & NETBALL LEADERS PROGRAMME 
Share your opinion and help our centre better cater to the needs of our youth. We'd love to hear your thoughts on how we can create more energy around our kaupapa (why we're here) and kaitiakitanga (protecting who we are & what we do) therefore improving enjoyment for our members of all ages. Put your hand up to take part in a group and meet others, grow your confidence and gain leadership experience at the same time. 
Follow Netball New Zealand's Netball Leaders Programme aimed at growing young leaders through netball. Netball Leaders recognises sport can be a powerful influence in the development of young people. This Netball New Zealand endorsed programme uses netball as a vehicle to develop tools and skills to be a positive young leader in their netball centre, school or community.  There are three award stages: leadership learning to achieve the Bronze Award, preparing to give-back  in one of three pathways (Netball Activator, Umpire or Coach) to achieve the Silver Award and leadership in action in the chosen pathway to achieve the Gold Award.
If interested in taking this direction, please email Sue at gm@netballwellington.co.nz.

We’d love to welcome you as part of our netball community at Netball Wellington Centre - please do not hesitate to get in touch if there’s something we can help you with.  You can also join our NWC Student Coaches Corner Facebook group to receive updates and helpful information fed direct to you.

For most colleges, there is a deficit between the number of coaches and the number of students wanting to participate in sport. The Student Coaching Day is organised by Nuku Ora in partnership with College Sport Wellington to provide senior students with the skills and confidence they need to coach - and provide a positive impact for their participants.
