Coaching for Impact 2026-2027
Coaching for Impact is a Sport NZ-designed initiative. Introduced in 2021, CFI is an integrated coach development programme with the primary objective of growing a collaborative network of coaches who influence positive change in youth sport.
The programme aligns with the Sport NZ Balance is Better philosophy and is part of a broader suite of Sport NZ coaching initiatives aimed at ensuring all rangatahi receive quality experiences in sport. The next iteration is being led by NZC, with the support of Sport NZ and other National Sporting Organisations.
The program will be delivered to a North Island cohort of coaches (centered in Wellington) and a South Island cohort of coaches (centered in Christchurch). If you are based outside of these cities, any cost associated with participating in the program will be covered by yourself and/or the organisation you coach for. Both cohorts will have a maximum number of 25 coaches selected to be a part of the programme.
