Drug Free Sport NZ - United by the Pledge

Drugs and sports don’t belong together! Thousands of young Kiwi’s have pledged their support to clean sports by signing a drug free pledge alongside our Olympians and world champion athletes – and wearing green armbands to show they have signed. Check out the list of athletes that have signed the pledge, here what they have to say about doping in sport, download free stuff, check out event photos from National Secondary School Events and more at www.unitedbythepledge.co.nz.

Player Agent Approaches to Students.

In recognition that younger and younger sports stars, particularly in Rugby, are receiving approaches to join the semi professional ranks, the NZRPA has developed answers to a list of Frequently Asked Questions to help educate players on Agents, the role they play, services they perform and what to consider when engaging one.  

The NZRPA has also developed the NZRPA Agent Charter. The Charter is designed to assist players to access Agents who have agreed to be bound by certain standards of knowledge, integrity, competence and professionalism and who have been selected by the NZRPA as NZRPA Accredited Agents.  

The information can be accessed on their website click here. We encourage every player (and their parents) considering appointing an Agent to read the supporting educational material (and in particular the FAQ’s and NZRPA Agents Charter) within this website

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SCHOOLS USING MUSAC AS THEIR SMS PROVIDER.

The facility to manage the school's sports programme within MUSAC's Classroom Manager AND to produce the NZSSSC Census report is now available. 

Sports Co-ordinators in schools that use MUSAC are advised that they should seriously consider delaying using SportSCID until they assess what MUSAC can offer.  SportSCID2009 is still available [below] but we are convinced that the MUSAC option will be better for most sports co-ordinators' needs.

A Manual has been produced to guide you through the pocess of working with MUSAC.  Download here - .              

MUSAC Manual

Some schools will ask students to register for all of their sports at the start of the season, or even the start of the year.  They will then want to be able to take a student and allocate all of the sports choices for that student.  This is not possible directly in MUSAC but it can be easily managed by using MUSAC & SportSCID together.  The instructions are here:   

MUSAC & SportSCID: Instructions for allocating sports to students as distinct from allocating students to sports.

SKILLS ACTIVE AWARD IN SPORT AND RECREATION CO-ORDINATION

The Skills Active award in Sport and Recreation Co-ordination endorsed by NZSSSC and designed specifically for the training needs of Sport and Recreation Co-ordinators has been revamped. This is an ideal way to utilise some of the SPARC Professional Development funding and at $125 + GST will leave money left over for other training. There are 6 training modules for Co-ordinators to work through and these are completely self paced and are largely based on recognising the work you are currently doing not creating more work for you to undertake. The modules provided include an info book and workbook and cover the following areas of work:

  • Volunteer Management (Available February 09)
  • Sports Administration (Available February 09)
  • Sports Events (Available March 09)
  • Sports Participation (Available March 09)
  • Team Management (Available March 09)
  • Sport in NZ (coming mid 09)
