Coaches, we have several coach education opportunities coming up at Mt Smart Stadium No. 2, providing a great chance to build your coaching knowledge, develop your skills, and connect with other coaches from across the region. 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.
SUNDAY 18 OCTOBER 2026
CAD Level 1 – Long Jump and High Jump
📍 Mt Smart Stadium No. 2
9:00am - 10:30am Long Jump

Delivered by ACE coaches Jenni Dryburgh (Long Jump) and Brent Booker (High Jump).
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 kelly@athletics.org.nz 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 kelly@athletics.org.nz for a chat. ... See MoreSee Less
