The Coach for Life Foundation exists to inspire coaches to make a difference so that our rangatahi have more positive sporting experiences, resulting in a lifetime love and involvement in sport. Equally, our coaches will also be inspired to grow and develop themselves, and therefore stay involved in coaching for longer.
