The Optimist is still regarded as the main foundation class for juniors, which means the level of coaching these youngsters receive is critical.
The New Zealand International Optimist Dinghy Association are looking for applicants keen on a NZIODA coaching role for the upcoming 2021/22 season.
The deadline to show your interest is September 6, 2021 and all applicants will be notified about whether they were successful by October 1, 2021.
NZIODA aim to create a pool of coaches who have a variety of skill levels and geographic locations so that they can work with you across this season and beyond. They also hope to further grow and build the coaching talent in New Zealand and help provide a pathway.
Successful applicants will be expected to be involved in coaching forums, complete coaching, safety, first aid and RIB certifications, and be involved in NZIODA clinics as part of the role.
If you are keen to grow your skills as a coach, be instrumental in developing the next generation of sailing talent in New Zealand, and want to have the chance to travel the world doing what you love, then register your interest below.
