Coaching and Volunteering Programmes
Waikato Institute for Leadership and Sports Studies (WILSS)
WILSS are a charitable trust and training provider who deliver quality education to promote opportunities in leadership and volunteering. Their purpose is to help build capability of sport and recreation leaders and volunteers in our communities.
WILSS can support your junior learners by providing them with leadership development training as well as collaborating alongside your school structure by supporting with opportunities to step up and lead.
Our aim is to support sport clubs and schools to help develop their capability.

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.
