Club Coaching Coordinator Workshops

As part of NRL NT's ongoing commitment to People, Education and Game Development, we are again throwing our support behind the importance of your club appointing a Club Coaching Coordinator for the 2025 season.

The Club Coaching Coordinator is responsible for overseeing the growth and development of individual coaches and enhancing the overall effectiveness of coaches, through the support and mentoring in the Club environment to ensure sessions are safe, inclusive, organised, enjoyable and engaging for all involved.  

Strategies for these outcomes include:

• Developing activities & initiatives within the playing group to build a strong sense of inclusion and belonging, including welcoming new players, members, and supporters.
• Maintaining good communication between all Club stakeholders and identifying your standards/boundaries & none negotiables
• Creating a positive, safe, and non-threatening environment in which players and coaches feel that they can try new things and make mistakes.
• Delivering a fun, educational and age appropriate training session
• Pre/post & during season catch ups with NRL NT Mentors and Pathways staff

To support the volunteers who take on these roles we offer face to face training which will include the latest coaching information, which can be passed on to the coaches at their club, as well as the latest initiatives to recruit and develop coaches. 

These courses will take place on the following dates and will require volunteers to register using the below link:

Under the NRL's Club Coach Developer Program, your Coaching Coordinator can also work closely with the NRL NT appointed Coach Developer, whose role it is to focus on supporting the coach with advice and encouragement, as well as hands-on helping with the art of coaching. This can also be delivered through a variety of activities ranging from Basic online support, telephone discussions or Club visits.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to NRL NT Pathways (dmacgillivray@nrl.com.au) if you require support with identifying the correct candidate for this role, or require further information on the Coach Developer Program.
