As we gear up for another exciting season at North Wellington FC, we want to make sure our coaches, managers, and families have the best tools to enjoy their football. To help things run smoothly on and off the pitch, we are encouraging all our teams to use CoachMate.

CoachMate is the official coaching and team management app of New Zealand Football. It is designed specifically for grassroots clubs like ours to take the stress out of the weekly routine, ensuring the focus remains on the players and the game.

Why Use CoachMate?

Whether you are stepping into a coaching role for the first time or you are a seasoned team manager, CoachMate brings everything into one easy to use space.

For Our Coaches

We know our volunteer coaches are the heartbeat of the club. CoachMate helps you deliver high quality sessions without the hours of planning.

• Ready-made Practice Plans: Access sessions aligned with the New Zealand Football curriculum.

• Video Activities: Learn how to deliver fun drills in under 90 seconds with bite-sized videos.

• Age-Specific Content: Filter activities by age group and focus area to ensure your team is getting exactly what they need.

For Our Team Managers

Keep your team organised without the endless email chains or fragmented group chats.

• Team Chat & DMs: Use a dedicated space for team updates, polls, and sharing photos.

• Schedule & RSVP: Create your season schedule for practices and games. The RSVP feature makes it simple to track who is coming so you aren't left short on game day.

For Our Parents and Whānau

Stay connected with your team and your coach in just one tap. You can easily confirm attendance, check game locations, and stay updated on any last minute changes to training.

Simple, Aligned, and Ready for Kickoff

At North Wellington FC, we value community and ambition. By using a tool like CoachMate, we ensure that every player in our club gets a consistent, fun, and educational football experience. It also respects the time of our incredible volunteers by making the "admin side" of the game as simple as possible.
