A quality coach can inspire a young athlete to gain a life-long love of sport.
Volunteer coaches are the lifeblood of junior sport and they are expected to have an in-depth knowledge of the sport,
be a motivator, help individuals achieve their potential and produce consistent results.

The Greater Auckland Coaching Unit (GACU) are hosting the BACKYARD LEGENDS Coaching Conference
for all junior and youth coaches across Auckland,
expecting over 150 coaches from the Auckland region to attend this one day must-attend conference.

The conference will have a strong emphasis on connecting coaches, raising the confidence and skills of youth coaches,
thus developing more skilful and motivated athletes. It is an opportunity to acquire new knowledge,
share information, network with other sports and to increase understanding of the needs of youth in sport.

The conference will highlight the importance of early play experiences in the development of sports performance.
