Who we are:

The Greater Auckland Coaching Unit was established in 2008 to create a more strategic and collaborative approach to coaching across the Auckland region. GACU integrates many coaching resources to ensure effective coach delivery to key stakeholders, national and regional sports, clubs and schools.

Objectives:

The Auckland regional coaching approach consists of the formation of a regional governance unit (Greater Auckland Coaching Unit) whose function will be twofold:

• the first, to deliver the Sport Auckland lead CoachForce programme in a singular consistent model across targeted NSOs & RSOs of greater Auckland;
• the second, to provide coach development services to non-CoachForce codes and the wider coaching community.

GACU will lead the development of an Auckland regional coaching strategy that:

• supports sporting codes to create improved pathways to recruit, retain and upskill coaches at all levels;
• develop a regional funding plan to streamline funding for coaches in the greater Auckland region and
• transfer skills, knowledge and best practice initiatives across the region.
