Resources
Our resources provide a collection of administrative resources to help clubs and RSO's implement best practice in the operation and management of their organisation.
- Visit the resources section.
Clubs
Are you the best club in your area or are members dropping? Either way we can provide grassroots support. We've got up-skilling opportunities, plus a program called club assist; let us run a ‘health check' and provide recommendations for challenges you might be facing.

Regional Sports Organisations (RSO's)
We provide assist to RSO's to become more efficient and effective organisations in the delivery of sport. How?
- By working alongside them to develop sustainable systems and structures that will achieve their goals. Our help includes; governance, strategic planning, financial planning, coach development, volunteer management and significant projects.
- The RSO Liaison Process. This process was established to ensure each of the nearly 70 RSO's in our region have regular contact with Sport Manawatu and are aware of what assistance is available. Find out more.
Coaches
At Sport Manawatu we know the importance of coaches, without them where would sport be? Whether you're a school, club or RSO - needing information and support on recruitment, development, and retention, or you're a coach - wanting learning opportunities, resources or advice - we can help with it all. We also work directly with RSO's on a programme called Coaches Count which focuses on ensuring that coaches at all levels are given support and presented with learning opportunities.

Elite athletes
Recognising people in our region that reach elite status is vital. We run a number of awards, including Manawatu Sportsperson of the Year, which aims to recognise the number of fantastic athletes we have. To make sure these athletes have local teams to play for we also offer a Sports Management Service which provides core management services for regional franchises such as YoungHeart Manawatu Football, Jets Basketball and Central Hockey.
