With the end of September fast approaching there are only a couple of weeks to become a TNZ registered coach and remain on Find-a-Coach on the website. After 30 September, only registered coaches will be listed.
The Tennis New Zealand (TNZ) Coach Registration & Certification (CRC) Policy came into effect from 1 July, 2009. It is designed to recognize tennis coaching as a profession and establish ‘Registered and Certified’ Coaches in New Zealand. This policy affects all TNZ and regional staff involved in tennis coaching, in addition to affiliated club coaches and endorsed private business’s delivering tennis coaching services in New Zealand.
The goal of this policy is to introduce professional coaching standards and raise level of services delivered at all national and regional performance centers, affiliated clubs and tennis centers in New Zealand. The benefits of such will ensure all children who receive tennis coaching, do so in an environment where there is a 'professional duty of care'.
A TNZ Registered Coach is a coach who:
• Has paid the annual Registration fee of $149 (If you have completed The JDC or AJC in 2009, your registration fee is included in your course fee)
• Holds a TNZ/TCNZ Endorsed Coaching Course*
• Holds a current First-Aid Certificate,
• Has signed the Tennis Coaches Code of Ethics,
• Has passed a New Zealand Police Check (Tennis Australia (TA) – Prohibited Persons Check).
* TNZ/TCNZ Endorsed Course:
• TCNZ - Club, Competition or High Performance Coach, TNZ - Assistant Junior Coach,
• TA - Junior Development, Club Professional, High Performance Coach,
• Any TCNZ Internationally recognized qualification.
Note: The minimum qualification required for Registration is TNZ Assistant Junior Coach. Community Coach Certificate holders who coach part-time are eligible to coach if they assist a Registered Coach at the club.
