KiwiSport Investment – Expressions of Interest

KiwiSport is a government funding initiative administered by Sport Wellington to increase participation in sport for school-aged children. The 2015 – 2018 Wellington Regional Partnership Fund plan was recently approved by Sport NZ with the following identified priorities:

•Coaching – quality and quantity

•Quality intra and inter-school sport

•Skill development and confidence building

•Family and Community Engagement (particularly in low participation groups)

•Females (10 – 18 years)

Sport Wellington welcomes expressions of interest from organisations that can impact on the ‘Coaching – Quality and Quantity’priority.

Through the KiwiSport consultation process the importance of a quality experience, which is significantly influenced by the coach, was reiterated i.e. the need for “good coaches that can build a young person up through sport” and “coaches with better attitudes”.

The ‘Coaching – Quality and Quantity’ priority aims to achieve the KiwiSport objectives of:

  • Increase the number of school-age children participating in organised sport,
  • Support children in developing skills that will enable them to participate effectively in sport at both primary and secondary level,
  • Increase the availability and accessibility of sport opportunities for all school-aged children,

while trying to reduce the particular barriers to participation identified during the recent KiwiSport consultation.

Coaches are enablers for school aged children to participate in organised sport. Coaches include parents, teachers, volunteers, other students and paid staff who contributes to the positive experience that children have. As identified in the New Zealand Coaching Strategy, all coaching should focus first and foremost on the needs of the participant or athlete being coached.

Critically, coaches working with children will;

  • Nurture a love of multiple sports & active recreation,
  • Understand the needs of their participants according to their stage in the Athlete Pathway,
  • Focus on fun, participation & skill development,
  • Understand that they are in the business of creating not only better athletes, but better people.

Sport Wellington will expect an increasing consideration of physical literacy to be included in KiwiSport applications. In the context of children’s development, Physical Literacy describes the development of fundamental movement and fundamental sport skills in tandem with critical thinking and communication skills. Successful and rewarding participation in sport and physical activity, whether for enjoyment or competition, relies on the development of all four skill areas.
