What’s available at GACU?

Sport Development Support Centre

The Sport Development Support Centre is a world class Support Centre and knowledge hub designed for the Greater Auckland coaching community. Including teachers, coaches, managers, officials, CEO’s, parents, students, athletes and other support staff.

The Support Centre is fully equipped with leading edge skill and game analysis software – Gamebreaker and Siliconcoach. Within the Support Centre are six Mac laptops, which provide both the Mac and PC environments. A library of key coaching and sport development books and resources are available. Video cameras and tripods are also available for use on site.

The Support Centre is backed by an interactive website – iSportz – which features tools for enhancing athlete, coach and official’s development. https://www.isportz.com/index.cfm
iSportz has now developed a great section for community coaches all over Auckland called “GACU Auckland Coaches”. We have split this into three key areas.

 

  1. First Steps in coaching. This section is for first time & introductory coaches. We have some great interviews with local coaches and will have a number of easy to use tools up shortly    along with the option of getting started and safety modules that coaches can work their way through.
  2. NZ Coach Approach. This is a SPARC lead project that promotes the philosophy of the adopted national coaching approach and features a number of the country’s leading coaches in action.
  3. TFGU. This section is a number of videos from Rod Thorpe. One of the founders of the Teaching Games for Understanding method for teaching and coaching.
