The New Zealand government invests in, and supports, high performance sport through Sport New Zealand and our subsidiary High Performance Sport New Zealand.
In 2007 the Government has invested $32 million into high performance sport. Ninety per cent of this investment is targeted at and spent on national sport organisations (NSOs), athletes, or coaches.
How Sport NZ and NSOs work together
Sport NZ and NSOs are formally committed to working together to build the performance of our athletes and teams – sharing information and programmes to reach the same goal, international success.
Each NSO has a performance director/high performance manager who leads the development of a high performance plan – this is the basis of our work together.
High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ) also provides services – such as sport science, sports medicine, and education/professional development – to athletes and coaches.
The High Performance HPSNZ Team
High Performance Sport NZ is responsible for policy, governance, evaluation and monitoring, investment, and high performance advisory services.
The team administers direct investment for international competition, training camps, coaching, athlete support and development.
The HPSNZ team works directly with NSOs to improve their high performance plans and programmes. They also work with national coaches and carded coaches to improve their capability and effectiveness. HPSNZ provides high performance support services to carded athletes.
HPSNZ regional operations
The HPSNZ regional operations are responsible for the delivery of coaching, sport science, sports medicine, athlete life services, and other performance-focused services.
