Coaching Corner

The New Zealand Police provide a vetting service to organisations like Athletics NZ which have functions in providing care to children, older people and vulnerable members of society.
As an organisation Athletics NZ values the safety of our membership, in particular our young people and therefore see that vetting of coaches is a vital aspect of Coach Membership. Vetting is required every two years. 
NZ Police have recently informed us that from 1 July 2017, they will be introducing a fee of $8.50 per person for vetting services. We will be revising our Coach Membership fee from July 2017 to ensure we are able to cover the increased costs.
From 1 July Coach Membership will increase to $30 (from $25) to partially offset this cost.
You still have two weeks to renew or become a Member prior to these changes coming into effect to take advantage of the current membership fee of $25. So make sure to get in quick so we can get your vetting through before the new fee comes into play. 
We are also working hard behind the scenes to bring you a range of new and improved member benefits and features which we will launch over 2017 and 2018 to add extra value to your Coach Membership on top of the benefits already provided.  Thanks for your understanding..

Athletics NZ Almanac 2016

We’ve uploaded the 2016 edition of the Athletics NZ Almanac to the Rankings and Records section of our website. This is a fantastic record of everything that happened for athletes in the Under 18 grade and above in 2016. Ranking lists, results, records and more. We’ve made the call not to offer a printed version this year as the sales in the last two years were not sufficient to warrant the cost of printing and we were not able to secure funding for the printing costs. We will review this next year and would appreciate any feedback on this year’s decision. You can get the online version HERE
