Head Coach - National Senior Men's Flag Football Programme 2016


This is a New Zealand-based role, with some domestic and international travel required.
Applications for this position close at 9pm Sunday February 21.


New Zealand has taken the Oceania entry spot at this year's IFAF Flag Football World Championships in the Bahamas. This will be New Zealand's first international flag football team. NZAFF require a head coach who can ensure that our team is prepared and competitive on the international stage. As we are looking to send a small squad, there is a high chance that the head coach will be the only coach travelling with the team.

Experience playing or coaching flag football is preferred. Applicants who feel that they are fit enough and skilled enough to also play in the team are instructed to specify this in their application.

Objectives:
Working with the NZAFF board, the head coach is required to:
  • Scout eligible players nationwide
  • Identify a 12-man squad to play in the IFAF Flag World Championships in the Bahamas from September 7 to 12, 2016
  • Nominate assistant coaches, co-ordinators, positional coaches
  • Develop training plans and implement them
  • Run training sessions
  • Travel with the team and take full control of matches during the tournament
  • Be the point of contact for all on-field issues

Requirements:
  • Applicants are most welcome to consider themselves as player/coaches.
  • Applicants from anywhere in New Zealand are welcome to apply, but must be able to demonstrate how they will be successful in developing and training a team that could be selected from across the country.
  • Applicants must be willing and able to pass background checks. Applicants must know that they are able to enter the United States of America and the Bahamas.
  • It is prefered that applicants for this role do not also apply for other Head Coach positions.

How to Apply:
Candidates are invited to fill out the form below. Along with their CV, applicants for this position will be required to submit their prospective plans, covering the following topics:
  • Scouting Plan (All NZAFF members who meet the age and eligibilty criteria will need an opportunity to be scouted)
  • National Camps (the NZAFF board will need to understand how often the full squad should be coming together)
  • Training Regime (the week-by-week training programme outside of wider squad camps, including nights per week, breakdowns and schedules of individual sessions, resources required)
  • Individual Goals (if individual markers for player improvement will be implemented as part of the training regime, how these will be monitored)
  • Playbooks and Playing Style (what resources will be issued to players)
  • Potential Staff Nominations (the Head Coach will be able to nominate their coaching staff for NZAFF board scrutiny, and applicants will be asked what staff roles they want to establish and who will fill them)
It is a requirement that both the CV and Plan documents are submitted.
